[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do you make?[/quote]

Not enough to deal with this. $160K plus a $4-5K bonus.[/quote]

That’s in what I consider all-hours email checking salary range. I thought you were going to say sub 6 figures. [/quote]

+1  Feels like a 8 hrs/day + check email a few times type level

My sibling makes $38k,is overtime eligible with approval, and does not check email or teams after hours or weekends.  
Now that seems reasonable.[/quote]

+1. At that salary, you likely have some real responsibility. Your boss handled this poorly, but at that comp level you shouldn’t expect to clock in 8:30 to 5p and be offline otherwise. (Note, they don’t pay you enough to check email nonstop, but you could be doing more.)

You should be checking email when you get up, to just to make sure nothing came in. I’m at a nonprofit earning $220k and I do that when I wake up at 6. [/quote]

This is why people think nonprofits are disorganized. If you routinely have to check email at six it’s not a well-run organization.[/quote]

Exactly. No one should be surprised with an 8am meeting at 6am outside of a true emergency. This deadline has been known for a month and management should have been working to meet it much earlier than the day before the deadline.[/quote]

Checking at 6 isn’t about being sure I catch last minute requests/accommodating someone’s poor planning. It’s about being sufficiently plugged to an extent commensurate with my comp and seniority level. 99% of the time it’s all innocuous stuff (news alerts, email from vendor/someone working late), but this means in the rare case something like this happens, I wouldn’t be caught off guard. And if there were a conflict, I would be able to communicate that out.

It’s very telling that OP wants to make this kind of money but believes she’s entitled to totally check out after 5. Both supervisor and employee have room for improvement here. [/quote]

Stay focused. This is about a last minute meeting, not just scanning emails.[/quote]
