Comment on 79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care
Why so much work when you get back? Don’t other people in the business handle it while you are away?
You’d think that. You really would. But there’s so much stuff where I am apparently the only person who can do it that it just piles up.
What’s wrong with letting it pile up? Can’t you just put in your hours for the day then go home, pile size be damned?
Because it keeps piling up, and the pile will be even larger the next day because everyone knows I’m back from vacation
If you don’t let the work pile up, then management thinks that your workload is fine
What line of work are you in that the work can’t just remain piled up? Doesn’t seem reasonable to worry about, but if you’re a doctor or something then maybe that makes sense
