No Respect for Employees' Vacation Time (Time Off)
Engineering • Current Employee
Basking Ridge, New Jersey, United States
June 10, 2022
Pros: Not being unemployed and homeless.
(Getting a paycheck).
Cons: There is an increasing trend now in engineering (June 2022) where employees who are *supposed to* be on vacation are increasingly checking in on conference calls, Slack messages, emails, and reports during their time off or scheduled vacation.
The whole point of vacation time is to disconnect from the always-on, burnout culture that is being fostered by leadership at Verizon.
Don't be fooled; it is becoming all about the metrics, reports, and 100 MPH+ productivity, without regard or respect for employees' vacation time or personal time away.
