No. And if you have to work weekends it’s especially egregious to ask you to be on camera, because 99% of the time it’s due to agency inefficiency (poorly managed account or pitches) or agency insolvency (not enough money to hire the people needed for a pitch)

I once had an idiot ECD passive-aggressively ask if I was “going to be off camera” at 9 am on a Sunday.

Flames on the side of my face, folks.

If you’re an ECD asking that question you are the embodiment of the Peter principle.

And if you’re an ECD reading this, screenshot this or print it to put in your wallet/purse to avoid being that same guy.
