No but with the advent of communication devices beepers, mobile phones, mobile computers, etc the typical office worker can be reach and in some situations is expected to be reached and respond _27/4_ in a salary type position (I’m not saying this is the 100% norm, no is it abused by every employer).
Coal miners don’t have the luxury of a _connected_ job.

- capableweb 4y agoManagers be managers, no matter if it's in retail, software or warehouses, no matter if it's Apple, Toy'r'Us or whatever. If they have something they consider an emergency and have your personal phone number, it's not super uncommon to be contacted by your boss outside of regular working hours. Repeating what last commentator said, not every boss is like this, obviously. But if you ask around in your circles (outside of software), then you'll see it's not super uncommon either.
