When you take time off work, don't you keep an eye on your emails and Slack, and check in while you're out? I always do, and I think it's pretty normal for people in our industry to always be available?

Hell no. If you can’t disconnect completely, you’re either in a toxic environment, you’re a control freak or you need to learn how to delegate/manage up. That is a skill that’s important especially when you have a team. If you have direct reports that cannot spot you for a time, you need to learn how to train people better. Your brain needs time off.

I check my work phone 1x/day to see if I have any texts. I do not typically look at email. This is the standard my boss set for our team and it's great. It's WILD to me that there are folks on here at the manager level thinking it's at all healthy to be checking emails on vacation.

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
