I've seen it both ways. I think the "wholly unreachable" version is more common, but I've definitely seen people take "work-cations".

- exolymph 9y agoI think the higher up in the org you are, or the more you serve as a bottleneck for productivity (e.g. because of unique skills), then the harder it is to take a truly 100% off vacation. The terminal example is a CEO — I'm sure most CEOs would cut a vacation short if a real crisis came up. That said, it has to be an actual crisis. If coworkers are bugging you about routine stuff on vacation, that's a bad work environment.
- maxxxxx 9y agoIf you are not ever able to take vacation because you are so important that's a sign for bad organization. In reality sometimes people are off for months because of sickness and I have never seen this being a real problem. People pick up quickly.
