[quote=Anonymous]When I started working in staffing back in 2005, I was making $65-$70K but I was expected to be available before and after hours, as clients needed. I was also expected to be available on weekends, again, as clients needed. In addition to this, I was supposed to attend 1 networking event after hours each week, and once a month, I was supposed to host our company networking happy hour. If I hadn't loved that job, I wouldn't have done it. Luckily after the first year they saw my worth, and how much I helped increase their revenue, and bumped me up to 6 figures, so I really had no issues after that.

Now that I run my own company, I make it clear to my employees that unless it's an absolute emergency, I WILL NOT contact them after hours or expect them to work after hours. I want them to have a life, I want them to enjoy their fav hobbies and activities, I want them to do whatever the hell they want to do. (None have families) It's very important to me that I don't intrude on personal time. [/quote]
