It is possible to get more detailed information on employee performance by looking at semi-random holidays:

If their job is still ~getting done (or the department output isn't suffering much), then they're either not working very much or their job can be taken over by coworkers

@niplav Note that the latter is what is good for the organization. Someone going on vacation and team performance suffering terribly is a much bigger problem than the other way around. And it quite often is partially the fault of the person in question – part of their job should be ensuring they are not indispensable (again, from the point of view of the organization, within the current socioeconomic system they are quite obviously incentivized to make themselves indispensable).

@timorl this is asituation of "too little slack is bad, too much is wasteful" & needs to be harmonized with the available free energy
