Brother do not cancel anything for these people, they do not care about you, it's their fault for not considering bus factor in their org chart. Why can't the person above you handle that?
replyPrioritize your mental health, go enjoy your vacation.
replyThanks, yes I will. Left without the laptop(s). Let the chips fall where they lay. If they need me back so urgently, they will have to go through the full cancellation of booked flights and hotels first. Lets enjoy the time off.
replyI hope you don't check in on hackernews after this post here!
replyWhat if they do. Sec analyst terminated for being on holiday posting on a forum being on vacation without laptop, not cancelling his trip ?
replyI didn't read it as that, more as, "You might hear about other similar work-related bullshit here while you're trying to chill and not think about it".
replyWhoo hoo, enjoy! :D
replyStrongly concur
replyNot your problem. Enjoy your vacation. Bus factor of 1 is poor planning of leadership.
replyEither a) your company will reimburse you for your costs incurred and give you a different week off, or b) they don’t need you there that badly.
replyTake more days off. Today was my first day back after 2.5 weeks.
replyServices you were responsible for
replyI say this as a Railway customer, go take your vacation. The only time you should even reconsider is a massive bonus plus more time off for staying.
replyCorrect me if I am wrong - if the API keys are compromised, then a large bill could be racked up?
replyOh you're right, that does sound like a good reason for the original commenter to not take his vacation. Lucky the organisation he works for made him the single point of failure in circumstances such as these.
replyI had assumed the original commenter OWNED the company. Yes, I agree with you that if he is an employee then take the time off.
replyAh yep, that would be a different story if that's the case (from reading his original comment I still think he is an employee though)
replyNone of this matters if you zoom out.
