I’d suggest there’s been a creep for longer hours and more available out of office hours
completely agree with this - tech and management practices have allowed work to creep into personal time to a massive extent.
some of the expectations i've observed have been hard to believe - work a 60+ hour week and then make sure you get out for a photo op on some construction project most weekends. ok you are on holiday but if we have a problem just fly / drive back and deal with it. ok it's 4 am but this happening now and it's your problem.
fuck all that tbh. these jobs are well paid but nervous breakdowns aren't cheap either.
so yeah, if they are actually on holiday i'd question why they are on the call at all.

I’d suggest there’s been a creep for longer hours and more available out of office hours too though… Covid just re addressed this a bit in terms of balance.
If those managers have their holidays interrupted seems ok for the kids to be in the background then….?
