Do you ever get frustrated by picking up work when other people are out, and you're working harder and they're on vacation? Like shouldn't you get paid more for it?

I think of it more like a give and take. We all are given PTO, and I am happy to cover for my coworkers when they get to take off time because I know the favor will be returned when it's my turn to take a vacation.

Set reasonable limits on your time and the time there spent on highest priorities.

Coverage should be a thing yourself, your manager, and your coworkers work out before that person leaves. I'm always happy covering someone since I know my work is in good hands and about 95% of the time I know I won't be bothered when on PTO.

It would be helpful if there was a system that ensures vacation plans don't throw everyone else off balance. Making sure everyone's got a fair share of the workload.

I'm ok doing it if the employee had a proper turnover to me before they went on their vacation. but if it was just sprung on me while they're gone, i'd be annoyed as hell.

I once had to pick up the work for three people who were all out on vacation at the same time. It was a crazy two weeks. Would've been nice to get paid more for it.

Anyone here made the move from a boutique ECVC firm to in house at a VC? My Y1/Y2 background was V20 ECVC hard hitting firm in the Bay, and now I’m at a large boutique with a strong rep in this field in So Cal.
