Wondering if others have felt the same, but it seems that after returning from vacation and coming back to hundreds of emails, it's often expected that you catch up within the first few days. If not, you'll start to see the multiple “following up” or “bringing this to the top of your inbox” emails. In short, it makes me feel like I'm being penalized for taking the time off the rejuvenate and not burn out.
Does this happen where you are? How do you deal with the constant messaging and pings right after you're back from taking time off?
