Mini Work Rant

Dear "add co-worker here,"
You are on vacation. You don't have to keep emailing and texting me. You are on vacation. Enjoy your vacation. I rarely get to go anywhere except within a 25 mile radius of my house.
If by some miracle I take a vacation, I will not be emailing and texting you in some control freak manner. I think you are (mostly) a young adult capable of doing your job and managing things.
I am also an adult. When you were born I was going on 30. I am MORE than capable of managing things without you. I have a brain and skills and even still, know more than you by simply being 28 years OLDER than you.
Enough calls
Enough texts
You don't need to control every damn thing that goes on.
The building will survive, we all will survive.
Sincerely, ME

🤔............Where I work, employees must be on call 24/7/365..........You must let the CEO know you're where about's at all times in case she needs to get a hold of you.......This includes holidays, vacations, after hours, weekends. If you don't reply to a email or text message over the weekend, you will be interrogated on Monday morning why you didn't reply to her on your day off......You have to send out a company wide email, if you will not be available over the weekend for any amount of time. You have to be online at all times. You have to reply to emails within 2 hours.
