Suddenly I don’t find taking days off anything to be happy about.
After spending three days in Hong Kong, what I got in return was a two full weeks of overtime work. I could not believe just how many things just became pending after only two days away from work!! First was 350 unread emails, then about 10 unanswered calls, and different people came looking for me first day back in office.
I still have more than 20 days of paid holiday this year, and it really makes me think twice if I should take them.
