Unfortunately this is not always realistic. In smaller businesses, one person may know a system or process far better than anyone else. So if that person is on vacation, he should be available. You may disagree, but I think this is a good thing that technology enables.
- ghaff 8y agoMaybe not typical, but I take many trips where I am literally not available for at least days or even a week or two at a time. Before ubiquitous Internet, I took a number of trips where I was totally off-the-grid for a month at a time. Didn't work for small companies where I was the only person who knew something (though that seems poor planning in the event that person falls off a mountain someplace) but it's what I did.
