I’m sorry but you’re enabling this behavior. When I take an official holiday, I’m unavailable for work, simple as that. Work is a part of my life, not the definition of my life.
I agree. I guess what I didn’t say is that I do a bunch of work on the clock in order to ensure 99% of my responsibilities are covered. And then even the other 0.9% my coworkers can just deflect or work around.
But if a situation arises that actually hurts people imo that is no longer a work issue but a humanity issue, and if my fellows can’t handle it then I do want to be made aware.
If this a regular occurrence then there needs to be some way to block or mitigate the damage, so that people can go on vacation and not worry they’re coming back to a mess.
I mean how are there not people in your office, people you work next to, people who know about which issues you ought to be made aware of, that can reach out to you?
I don’t want to be bothered while on vacation either, but if something happens at work that needs my specific attention someone will find me.

In this case, this is a thing that can be postponed
I can agree if they called them because “OH NO ALL OUR PEOPLE ARE DYING WHAT DO WE DOO” but it’s not
When a server is down, they want to find you. When they want to pass a law which you will vote against, how hard do you think they’re trying?
