Ignore it. There should be no expectation of answering emails or working on the weekend. I turn off my work phone and laptop over the weekend.

Ignoring is always the wrong answer FYI, either do the work or say you’ll pick it up on Monday, but don’t just not respond

What are your required hours? I’m addition, these are not ordinary times. WFH for a lot of folks entails far more than just doing your day job. A boss should recognize that.

I'd just be happy to be employed right now honestly

You can’t live like that forever though! You don’t think a boss would abuse your time for knowing you would do anything because of the fear of losing your job?

Not sure what firm you work for... typically employment agreements state that you’ll be expected to work a certain number of hours above standard. Frankly if you’re complaining about working what sounds like an occasional weekend in a market environment where lots of people are losing their jobs, I don’t know what to say to you.

My company is letting a third of its staff go. Pay cuts for the rest.

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
