Yep.

You may get called in and yes, it can be annoying at times but you get well compensated for it.

I once earned a week of vacation time in a month when we were installing a new time system.

Of course now days the boss calls me in at all times of the day or night when there is a problem and the cheapskate doesn't even give me a cup of coffee. Such are the joys of being the owner.

“Being the OWNER” is a phrase that has ramifications unknown to the vast majority of the world.
YOU are on duty 24/7/365 whether you like it or not. Your hours are not counted, your worries are your own, a single weather “incident” can ruin a season or even the business.
You have no “perks’ and get no consideration. Poor baby!!
As for me, each morning, I tell my “boss” off and call him every bad name I learned in the Navy..all the while shaving.
HE is a real stinker.

Our company moved to a new location over the Thanksgiving weekend and they wanted my lab up and running by Monday so I worked long hours to get it done. They even brought in Thanksgiving meals for us. I succeeded in getting the lab up and running and received a hefty bonus from the CEO.
