Unlike the after-work schmoozing in the OP article, this will get you fired. Your employer will just claim this is an expectation of the job.

- sneak 3y agoYou, as an employee, will be the one doing the firing of the abusive employer by refusing to be on call 24/7 for free. If you're actually valuable and it's actually required they will work out a deal with you to compensate you for it. They'll usually just deal without it, maybe with some abusive passive aggressive grumbling. If they're unreasonable, they will do you a favor and end the business relationship. If you constantly refuse to set boundaries with your employer because "if I do they'll fire me", you will reduce your effective hourly rate immensely. Don't do that. It makes them respect and value you way less, too, because you aren't valuing your own time - why should they if you don't?
