Does anyone feel judged by their coworkers for going on vacation?

I judge people who are travelling right now. It seems unnecessary. I particularly can't stand people who act like not travelling is this huge sacrifice. People who make those comments are insufferable. However, if you're just taking vacation days to chill out and are staycationing or going to see family or something, I have no issue with that.

Ey10. I’ll let you know Friday how spring break goes with the thousands of other people out here enjoying life.

This thread really illustrates how there is no middle ground on Covid. Either you’re a reckless anti vax, anti masker or you haven’t left your house in a year. Heaven forbid we take precautions to minimize risk to others and go about our lives to some degree of normalcy.

Have you guys considered what happens if we don’t mandate masks post vaccination? All of the people who have been refusing to wear one for the past year under guise of “health conditions” are now going to refuse to wear one under the guise of vaccination.

It’s unfortunate people can’t behave reasonably & responsibly but this is why we are where we are as a country at this stage.

I’m now fully vaccinated and planning to travel next month. What’s the point of getting vaccinated if not to achieve normalcy again?

Is SD1 being sarcastic or is that an actual response? You’re kind of a jerk if that’s how you actually feel, do what you want to do but going out of your way to hurt others is just next level

I wouldn’t give a sh*t if they did. I work hard and earned that time off. If they resent me for using vacation time, that’s their problem.

I keep encouraging my team to use their vacation.

And if the airlines are flying people places then why can't they be on them.

I've been on 5 planes this year. 3 outstrips, 2 continents (but that was my father's funeral) and out west to ski.

Follow the rules and travel.

The most annoying part to me is feeling like I have to justify everything so no one judges me. People constantly qualifying that they saw friends- but only in their backyard. Or we took a vacation to the shore - but drove there and rented a house on a secluded part of the beach where we wouldn’t come into contact with anyone.

like

Simple solution: stop telling your coworkers about your non-work time, or if you do, disregard their opinions/judgments about it.

Yes. One of my coworkers is always asking what everyone’s weekend plans are. I said a few weeks ago that I was getting dinner one friend (outdoors, mind you) and one of my coworkers GASPED and clearly judged me. I live in Florida (company is based in nyc tho) where everything has pretty much been open since May. Oh and I’m vaccinated. Still judged though 😁 The only time I ever see people is outdoor dining or meeting on the beach/park. I am also 23 and want to socialize more than many of my 45+ colleagues that live in big houses and have families. Everyone on my team is super judgemental, but I follow a lot of them on social media and see them indoor dining, traveling, and seeing people outside of their households all of the time. Know that everyone thinks what they are doing is perfect and they justify all of their actions but judge everyone else.

I am not on vacation but I am working from my home country for a couple of weeks. I have a coworker who is going on about how I am on vacation and he makes sure he mentions that I am working from somewhere else in every email or conversation he has related to work. It is annoying me as I made the decision to do this as I was really down sitting at home in the US all by myself. I am aware of the risks but I took it as my mental health was getting affected. I want to call him out and tell him to shut up.

like

Are you in a different time zone, missing meetings? If not, don’t know why anyone would care. He is probably jealous.

American in Canada here - I used to be super pro everyone being responsible and thought the US was being collectively very irresponsible and individualistic. Now after 3 months of lockdown in Canada where all retail (except grocery) and restaurants are closed and we are not allowed to see people outside the household, I think all this responsibility is going to do far more harm than good. I can’t imagine anyone coming out of this mentally stable unless they break the rules.

People need rest and normalcy and if that means going on (a hopefully generally responsible) vacation then they need to do what is right for them.

like

I felt the same way initially. But, as things unfold, the whole lockdown seems irrational.

like

I think the vacation judging is stupid. You have no idea if someone is driving to Florida, renting a condo, ordering takeout and generally staying by themselves/with their household OR if they’re partying in jam packed clubs every night. Regardless, it’s their decision and none of your business. It might not be in line with your risk tolerance or what you think is acceptable, but if they are following local laws and guidelines, they aren’t doing anything wrong. Traveling doesn’t mean rampant covid spread.

like

Anyone who judges is just miserable and jealous. If you take the precautions and quarantine when you get home you should have the freedom to take the vacation if you want to.

like

If the accepted precautions are taken while traveling during COVID, there shouldn’t be an issue. Apart from holiday travel, I’ve also had to travel for work during this, so annoying to hear some of these posts.

Stop worrying about other people and their choices. Worry about yourself and take care of yourself and your family and friends and let others make their own decisions. There are far too many instances of anger and even violence due to folks thinking THEY are the final call on what is right and what is wrong for others, it has to just stop. And just for reference, some companies are REQUIRING employees to take vacation time. Trust folks taking time to also take necessary precautions and, again, take care of yourself and not them.
