You mean emergencies such as your hot shot boss calling you 2am because he wants to discuss some bullshit idea he just had?
I’ve worked in a couple of places where this kept happening. First time I was junior enough to care and put up with it. Everyone understand: this is not normal. Unless you specifically signed up for pager duty sort of job, no one should put up with this.
