I’m going on a 2 week holiday next week - it’s been booked for ages & my team have known about it for months.
I’m basically admin support for my team but there’s no one to cover me when I’m not here & the work I do is pretty essential to our client delivery. I’ve given them all plenty of notice / reminders / set deadlines etc to make sure I got everything done before holiday.
So of course, they’ve all ignored all my deadlines & left everything to the last minute & now I’m being inundated with emails about submitting their work to me Friday lunchtime so I can get it done before my holiday (!!!!)
I’ve also had emails about the urgent work I can pick up on my first day back from holiday but needs to be turned round asap.
Everytime I go on holiday this happens & it just ends up being so stressful trying to get it all done as it’s pretty much impossible for me to get it done that quickly.
I also really hate them lining work up for me on my first day back before I’ve even gone away as it just hangs like a cloud over my last few days when I’m meant to be relaxing.
AIBU to think this really poor from my team?? Honestly just want to tell them all to F off !
BTW I’ve already started pushing back but it’s falling on deaf ears so far.
