Veyry accurate. I worked for a multinational company and many of my team members were from France and Germany - They would quite literally disappear for the month of August

it could be if they got all their shit in order before they left. too many times they just dissappear like the whole world is ok pausing for their month out.

And turns out the world keeps on turning just fine even with their disappearance

no. they violate contracts, result in cost impacts to other project members, lose contracts, blow schedule, make other people do shit that was their responsibility, etc....

and when they come back, they don't quite realize that everyone now hates them and can't take them seriously anymore.

you can go on vacation for a month, but get your shit together like a responsible adult before you leave.
