Can't believe I got work off to go on vacay for four days!

I feel like my job controls my life sometimes. They're gonna be running on less than a skeleton crew without me, I feel kind of guilty about it

You've put in time to earn the vacation. Being shorthanded is a reflection of inept management at some level. Everyone else knows it's not your call to hire people or set team size or expectations. And they all know that management would happily work them into an early grave to earn an extra near term buck. Enjoy your vacation and be ready to have your turn with extra strain when the next person takes time.

@caPnAhab yeah, I dunno where the problem is. But I see MGMT problems at many levels where I am

Everyone deserves a break, a bit of you time and self care.

Including you.

That's why it's so important to delegate. The company/department has to run smoothly with or without you.

You will be missed.

But don't feel guilty.

@Umile thank you. My people over there assured me they're happy for me. But I know and they know they're gonna suffer a bit.
