If the reason why you feel this way is solely because your colleagues don't respond on official day offs, then I don't really think they deserve to be called lazy.
Sometimes I work on official day offs, but I completely shut myself off from emails and other things and some of those times I work on things that aren't even related to my paid work. That really helps me stay refreshed for the rest of the week to concentrate on office work.

- majewsky 10y agoThe headline now says: "How to handle less-than-committed colleagues?" I still don't think this does your colleagues justice because it implies that they are lacking in commitment, which I cannot discern from the explanation below the question. If I were your manager, I'd rather be concerned about your overcommitment, for two reasons: 1. It sounds unhealthy for you, and I wouldn't want you to burn out. 2. When people are working basically 24/7, over time, processes will evolve to rely on their continuous presence, which is also unhealthy for the company, since mayhem will ensue when you're on a vacation or sick or unavailable for any other reason, and all the processes requiring your presence break down. I'm seeing cases of #2 with some of my coworkers, and it's really hard to get rid of that once it has crept in (but we're working on it).
