[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My current boss is on the West Coast and forgets about the time difference frequently. I'm hourly and asked very clearly about whether I was required to check email after hours or from home, I was told that I was not to do either. Yet, I get emails from her at 7pm EST with a task, followed up by an email at 9pm EST asking WTF haven't I completed that task yet.

She also changes her mind about things frequently. We just went through and changed the format of all 20+ purchase orders on our current contract, I checked over and over again that the format was what she wanted before submitting them. She approved them all and thanked me for getting it done. One sub got the new format and freaked out, she called me the day after asking why it was in this new format and who told me to change it?!?

I just got a new job last week, I cannot WAIT to put in my notice on Friday :)[/quote]

when a boss does this, you should just carefully 1) keep the email telling you not to work overtime and 2) keep the emails insisting that you respond off the clock.  The sue them for violating wage and hour law.  [/quote]
