Woman Takes A Well-Deserved Vacation Without Allowing Anyone Access To Her Files, Gets Blamed For Losing A Client

Work should not feel like a prison. Sure, it can be challenging to manage stress and have a work-life balance , but the truth is, employees should feel free to take a deserved break whenever they feel like it. Of course, some may find it challenging to disconnect from their work – and this is especially true for folks who are connected 24/7 via mobile devices. Do you know what’s even worse than receiving work-related messages while on vacation? Not receiving any at all, which is what happened to one Reddit user who recently took a much-needed break and decided not to respond to emails. The outcome was not what they expected, as one colleague was unable to handle the responsibility of a client they were supposed to cover. The user described the situation, which led to the loss of the client, and asked whether or not they were in the wrong for not communicating while on vacation.
