What does your vacation look like? Do you take your work computer or phone on vacation?

Not anymore, but I used to. I even try to set aside personal phones and devices now. Spending too much time in front of a screen. Vacation should be a time to do something else, even if you aren’t going far.

Nope, because I don't have either haha. I hope I wouldn't even if I did. Vacation is my time, not my job's.

Vacation is supposed to be real downtime. If I am checking emails or carrying my laptop, that is not a break, that is remote working with a better view. I bring my phone but I mute notifications and only check if something is truly urgent. Otherwise what is the point of taking PTO?

I don’t have a work laptop, but if I did, I wouldn’t take it. Nor do I check emails. I leave my personal phone open for contact in event of an emergency. Other than that, I’m trying to relax.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
