The Boss called on Saturday night around 9 pm while I was out with a group of friends. She had issues with some files and needed help, I told her I wasn't home, have no access to a computer to review the files and I was also too drunk to help her with it and she hung up. Just saw an email she sent soon after she hung up. Basically, she told me I was highly unprofessional and we will have a meeting about this on Monday. This is not a job that requires me to be on-call, or was a request ever sent to me that I may need to do work on the weekend. Seriously, WTF?

I had such a long, stressful day yesterday. I was on at 6:30 am until about 6:45pm. I turned my phone off and crashed at 7:45pm. This morning, I wake up to a text from boss sent last night. Check your email. I checked it this morning and he's asking me to check flights for him at 8pm, because he's not going to make his flight. I just now emailed him explaining that I was dead tired and asleep and asked him how he made out. I didn't get a response, yet. I don't understand why they feel the need to just intrude on our lives like this! After hours, be a grown up and handle it yourself. I did have one executive who actually took care of rescheduling his flights after hours without bothering me. unbelievable.

what happened to the actual 8 hour work day? I remember when work days used to be 8 hours a day, with a lunch included in that. usually Monday to Friday. Now it’s become a 8-4:30, 8:30-5 - 8.5 hours a day standard at most jobs, days offs drop Monday or a Wednesday and it really sucks. Less and less time for our own live

I left work at 5pm O' CLOCK (shift ends at that time). By 9pm I had 8 emails and a meeting invites for tomorrow. Why the hell do people feel the need to keep working into the evening?

It blows people away when I tell them at work I’m not responding to shit after 5pm. I workout after work. Spend 2 hours with my husband and kids. Why the hell should I have to give up one of those because someone couldn’t talk to me between the hours of 8-5? I know easy way is not answering but hate those notifications.

How can we change this?
