Why Some People Work On Their Holidays

One of my employees went on vacation. She took a well deserved week off work. The first Monday afternoon into her vacation I saw her reply to a customer email. On Tuesday, they replied to one of my emails from the week before and sent me a message on slack. I knew how hard she had been working for several months, and didn’t understand why she was still trying to keep up with things at work, that really weren’t that important.

Although I didn’t want to disturb her, I sent her a message.
