@DustinB3403 In this case my customer is my employer so yeah that goes out of the window, specially in the medical field...
Just leave your phone turned off on vacation. It's vacation, they can't ask you to work.

@scottalanmiller I wish, I keep on recommending multiple times for new IT staff or coverage by MSPs that I know and I get turned down...is frustrating

Non of this matters. You are on vacation, you are not on call. There are labor laws on this.

Turn off the phone. Or ignore the calls. If they turn you down for coverage that's on them not on you.

Yeah PTO is not just "time not in the office" its time that you are working. Its a part of your pay, and there are very strict laws about being able to use it, along with conditions of what pay you should be receiving if you're forced to work on your vacation.
It's on the business to get the issue(s) resolved while you're away.

Your job is done. You told them to get coverage. COmpanies are available for coverage. But they are not doing their jobs properly because you are willing to give up your vacation to protect them from their mistakes. That's not good for you, not healthy for the profession. Truly... shut off the phone.

It's also not good for the company... this is the bus meet human argument. If they can't live without you while you're on vacation then they will collapse (or spend a lot more money then necessary) when you are dead.

@coliver correct, which is why I stopped...

Yup, which is why based on @stess current assessment, we probably know that this wasn't a legit decision before, or there would be no issue implementing it now.

Back to documentation.

I'm a little off today, in my mind I'm seeing you in a ballgown instead of a ballroom

That could probably be arranged, if not, at least photoshoped.

I say we go to the thrift store and find him a ballgown. Bring it to MC 2017 (or ship it to the hotel).
