in that environment how do you take a vacation? sure a planned downtime is easier than an unplanned one but the process is the same.
in a programming team other team members pick up tasks.
if my assistant is away, i may have to do some things myself.
if i am sick, my customers will just have to wait. if i set my deadlines to short, not giving any buffer time, it's my fault.
yes, there may be catch up type work, but usually i am not compelled to work overtime, which is how kids catch up time looks like.
they are forced to catch up on their own time, not in class and they are not given a choice.
