Vacation? No. If your suspension is paid, it’s usually short and while pending investigation of sorts and likely only happens if you work full time. Typically suspensions are unpaid, which is stressful. But even when they are paid (as in circumstances I mentioned), stress of it is just too high, so no it’s not a vacation.

Environment might be hostile. You contributed to a hostility. So behave and watch what you say and you’ll be fine. If you said something you shouldn’t have always apologize and accept responsibility.
