Is convincing people that don’t have ownership to take on an ownership mentality. An owner of a company should be killing himself around the clock to make money— that’s the gamble he took. If you’re an employee, you’re required to do your job and you’re compensated to do your job. Stop picking up the phone when you are off, and stop responding to email as well. If you are paid hourly, this is wage theft. Most definitely, no matter who you are, stop picking up the phone or email on vacation. If you are salaried, log the time and force HR to deduct if from your time off. OH .. and take your damn vacation time.
