Tell them you’re more than happy to discuss coverage and provide any information needed upfront, but that you would will be disengaging from all work during your PTO. They know better. Do not give an inch.
Just say no. No further requirement. If it makes you feel better tell them you’re going where there isn’t internet and cell service.
LMK when there is cell service everywhere. lol
Just tell them no, you will not be available as back up and are happy to look at who could cover while you are out. PTO literally means they cannot expect anything from you while you are out. They know this and are testing the boundaries by asking, be sure to set a hard one by pushing back on this.
