[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure why listing what you did over the weekend is relevant to the situation of a colleague calling about what they thought was an important situation. Why not just say you had not checked email but can respond Monday? Or even, take 5 minutes to respond now? It is not like you were called into work or in the middle of an important event.  [/quote]

It's like you didn't read the post. OP doesn't want clients clawing their way into his off hours and personal life. And I applaud him for that. You kids today are so stupid that you essentially have been brain washed into thinking "It's just an email!" It's just a phone call!" "It's just a couple hours on a Sunday!"

My employer will never own me. But, you do you.[/quote]

Holy F. OP works in Facility Management and maybe the facilities she manages are open on the weekends. It is her job to be available as she said herself. [/quote]

OP already said that she isn't on call this weekend - her coworker that called was and was being paid for it. OP osnt being paid for being on call this weekend. [/quote]

Unless OP is getting paid hourly, these things come with territory. Do you not work PP? [/quote]

DP and I’m entirely with you on this. If you’re not hourly, then the work simply needs to get done.

It’s an email. It doesn’t take a lot of time. [/quote]

Wow you think a salaried position should work all and any hours including weekends? WTF. [/quote]

I’m the PP and a teacher. Go check out any thread on DCUM about grading. You’ll see posters berating teachers: “This is the job you picked. Get it done.” “Your work is done when the grades are done, no matter how long that takes.” “Why does it take so long to respond to my email? You had two snow days!”

So, as a salaried employee, I’m expected to get work done no matter how long it takes. So it’s reasonable to assume that’s true for other professionals. [/quote]

Only if its outlined in the contract as part of your duties. It doesn't expand to all professional jobs. My job receives international requests at 2am in the morning. Its part of my duties to move these requests along, but not at 2 am. The grading is on you to complete which is why I assume you have timelines for when it can be turned in yes? [/quote]
