You guys check work email and work Slack when on holidays?

Some people do. My team within Adobe discourages it.

There are some really great hobby slack channels that I personally check on vacation. Can be hard to ignore the random work questions while doing that.

Once another team investigating an outage tried to contact me on vacation... I sent them a photo of my bike in an empty field in the mountains of Oregon and said "Sorry, bad internet out here!"

In Germany it's expected that vacationing workers are as good as dead until they return.
