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.

Advice to Management

Cut the bullshit.

Work-life balance is going down the toilet in this company.

Life is not all about work.
