Yep. We are not 1099 employees though. We do work in a state where you can be fired at anytime for no reason. I’ve been fired twice “just because” and it doesn’t scare me one bit. Kids are grown, bills are paid.
I’ve had pretty much the range of answers I expected. Except I thought most would not understand what it is to work with a company that does not pay hourly. They can pretty much treat you like they want.
Imagine! If you will putting in 55 to 60 hrs a week at the office. And then be expected, during your “off” time to still be responsible for the business operations of the company. All without being paid one little dime.
I’m just not gonna do it. I’ll decline all after hrs. internet leads. If it costs me my job then so be it.
I would not either, but I would not tell them so.
Why not just set up an auto-reply on your email?
