Teammates have the habit of instantly replying to slack messages while they are on PTO and even join update meetings, write status updates on quips, make edits on quip etc all while on PTO. It hardly seems like they are OOTO. As a result, when I am on PTO I feel the same pressure. Infact I am sometimes pinged and I don't know if it would be considered bad if I did not respond until my PTO ends (assume: non urgent pings, not on call or anything earth-shattering). Does this happen in your team? Or in other FAANGs? Or is it just an Amazon thing? #tech #pto
For my team, if itās important then call me. Else, Iāll review it when I get back. Sometimes ping is something for me to review when I get back like a bookmark someone else made. Like a decision was made without me
Some over enthusiastic folks do that and it sets a very bad example. Canāt help deal with that shit though. Anyway, you shouldnāt feel pressured IMO and donāt need to respond when u are off.
Donāt respond! You need to educate others to respect your boundaries otherwise they donāt care!
Never seen it at G
While on PTO, ignore slack and email.
I donāt and my team doesnāt. Some people are not able to establish work life boundaries and it shows that their work/team isnāt managed properly. Set a good example for others and donāt
Iāve never seen it as bad as at Amazon. I probably could have held a meeting on Christmas Day and had full attendance.
Wait isn't this a skill?
Set boundaries. Do not respond. Other companies have the same. I have coworkers all over the globe joining my meetings on Dec 24. Just decline. Its okay.

All companies. As soon as you have a company phone, it is over for you.
