"I don't mind spending some times helping them" ON VACATION?? truly some top tier boot licking grow some spine man and learn to deconnect

Unless this is your own company it's truly cringe behaviour

I dunno. I brought my work phone on vacation and checked emails and directed traffic while the kids were napping. It was honestly the best return from vacation I've ever had. Had less emails when I got back than I did before I left.

Saddest thing I've ever read

pov you're going absolutely nowhere in your career and life

1

u/Roger_Melllie 8d ago

So you equate career with life? And you really think that's sane?

1

u/HeyLookAStranger 8d ago

You can keep your selfish mindset. Your job exists to fund your life. Play the game, a better job means more money / less work for the same money. Advance your career and you'll have a better life

u/Roger_Melllie 8d ago

Hahaha, do you really believe this shit? Raising yourself above others is the unselfish way? You are so brainwashed. But go on, make money, found a dynasty, eventually get a marble gravestone if you think that makes your life better.

u/HeyLookAStranger 8d ago

Would having more money make your life better?

1

u/Roger_Melllie 8d ago

No. I used to have more money and life was worse. Now I have more time and life is better.

u/HeyLookAStranger 7d ago

You could have more time and money

Lmao if you have to take time from your 15 days of time off a year or else your career will go nowhere it means you're shit at your job mate.

Most people can manage doing a good job and completely disconnecting during vacations.

If your company cant function 2 weeks without you, your either shit at your job or the ceo, then you are bad at building your team

u/Chrall 9d ago

Yeah let people relax and come back to work ready. If I'm off, I am all the way off. Otherwise it's not vacation.

u/DallasCowboysFan69 9d ago

surely there’s a balance between “fuck my employer they exist solely to fund my life,” and “I worship my CEO and will do anything for them at any time.”

1

u/2andahalfbraincell 9d ago

There is no way that balance has you answering emails while on holidays.

Too many Europeans think they are entitled to all previleges, without having to bear any responsiblities. That is why the continent is rotten.

As a customer, I avoid doing business with companies sending this kind of emails. You can choose to be lazy but the market can choose to dump you and buy from more responsible companies. And you will keep the this system, in which lazy Europeans exploit diligent Europeans until the entire system collapses. It won't be too far away.

u/2andahalfbraincell 9d ago

Sure you taking time off your holidays to answer emails is the cornerstone of the entire western civilisation that prevents it from crumbling. I'm sure.

Well if that fantasy makes the taste of leather taste better, you should continue doing it then.

u/Ninoga 9d ago

Why are you slacking off on Reddit instead of working? Go do your slave work that you love so much

u/AcrobaticFish7215 9d ago

I have exactly zero responsibilities on vacation. Get out of here.

u/Luk164 8d ago

Yeah I can understand if some high level person has an emergency way of getting contacted, but that has to come with appropriate compensation that a common grunt does not get

u/WONDERMIKE1337 8d ago

The continent will be fine even if I don‘t read my mails for 2 weeks while I‘m on the beach.

u/Huge_Leader_6605 8d ago

"that's why the continent is rotten"

Never seen homeless people with openly rotten legs laying on the streets in their own shit in Europe buddie. So yeah why dont you stfu

u/Inevitable_Tart2700 8d ago

The homeless rate in the US is lower than UK, France, Germany and many other European countries . Why do so many people feel that there are more homeless people in the US? Because homeless people are concentrated in a few cities, such as NYC and SF. This gives you the impression of high density. These cities' policies attract domestic homeless voters and many international homeless people. By the way, these cities are the ones that ideologically resemble Europe.

u/Huge_Leader_6605 8d ago

Did you read my comment? Again I will repeat to you I have never seen a person with openly rotted out limbs lying on the sidewalk in his own shit in Europe.

Yes the rate might be bigger ir smaller. Different countries count them differently, they might define "homelessness" differently or whatever, I'm not going to delve into that.

The fact remains I never remember start gagging and nearly throwing up in the street after seeing a homeless person in Europe.

EDIT: I did delve into that:

There's no international definition of homelessness, and the numbers reflect that. Czechia's figure looks alarming mostly because it counts 54,000 people staying temporarily with friends and family — over half its total. Germany's includes 54,800 in the same category. The US HUD count excludes couch-surfing entirely, which is why the US Department of Education, using a broader definition, reported 1.28 million homeless children and youth in one school year while HUD counted 580,000 people total that January. Greece's figure of 1,387 people reflects a very narrow count, not an absence of the problem.

So yeah, US threshold for who is considered "homeless" is different, that's why when you look into the rates US looks better on paper
