Right just as I take my first day off (for the entire year!) from work to fly out for a vacation. The mother of all security bombs starts dropping all around stacks and services that I am responsible for. How else could have taken time off go for me…
Prioritize your mental health, go enjoy your vacation.
Not your problem. Enjoy your vacation. Bus factor of 1 is poor planning of leadership.
Either 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.
Take more days off. Today was my first day back after 2.5 weeks.
I 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.
Services you were responsible for
None of this matters if you zoom out.
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?
