When I did bookkeeping for small businesses, I SOMETIMES got calls away from WORK————— BUT NO ONE EVER ABUSED it.
Which is good. When I’ve gotten calls from work (maybe once every 3 years) my boss spends more time apologizing for bothering me than the actual question and answer.
BUT just because some bosses don’t abuse doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty that do. And again from what I hear out in the world the WFH era seems to have increased this. Bosses seem to be thinking that since you’re working from home ANYWAY what’s wrong with asking you to reply to an email at 8PM? Frequently. That’s not a good trend. It’s demanding more loyalty from the employee than the company gives, which is always bad.
