"My boss calls me almost every night around 8 or 9 p.m. 'just to check something quickly,'"
"Last week, I told him, politely, that I'd rather keep work calls during office hours unless it's urgent,"
"He said, 'If you want to grow here, you need to be available,'"
A contract marketing employee works 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. most days and receives nightly calls from a boss around 8 or 9 p.m., sometimes for a single question and sometimes for lengthy brainstorming sessions. The employee requested limiting work calls to office hours unless urgent because constant contact prevented decompression. The boss responded that availability was necessary for professional growth. The employee now feels guilty and deprived of proper evenings off. Online commenters largely supported setting clear work-life boundaries and emphasized that employees are not obligated to answer non-urgent after-hours calls.
