Absolutely this.
I don't respond to email after work unless the building is literally on fire unless I'm on rotation in which case that's either in my contract and I'm compensated for it or it isn't and I don't respond.
Salary buys 40hrs of my time (on average, some weeks might be 45, some 35) and that is it.
My time outside of that is my own and jealously guarded.
- emmelaich 9y agoAbsolutely. My work wanted after hours support but would never pony up with the requested on-call rate. They'd still pester us and ask for Gentlemen's Agreements to attend if we happened to be available. All the while we used to get lectured about maintaining a good work-life balance from HR.
