I really like the “Finnish” approach to vacations. 4 weeks in a row is more than normal, its expected. And you are supposed to be offline during that time, cos it’s vacation!
This in practice sets the foundation for the culture to be able do fine (and deliver SW normally) when anyone from the team is away for a longer time.
I.e. totally aligned with Alan here and have been building my org, teams and my own role with the same ideology.
Interesting and completely agree with the philosophy Alan.
I'm wondering if a team member recognizes this behavior in their managers, how should they go about managing up and conveying this feedback without fear of retribution?
