How do you set your boundaries with work if you are hourly? I sometimes get messages from my colleagues on Sunday even when I’m not scheduled to work that weekend (we are on call sometimes).

If I'm on call, then I feel responsible for responding. But if I'm not on call, I won't respond unless it's totally convenient for me. And I definitely won't respond after 8pm. I think that there are some companies/roles that require more around-the-clock responses, but I know for a fact that none of my work is *that* urgent haha.

If it was a situation where I was on call, I'd be attentive to calls and texts. But if it was just a weekend when I was off, I'd manage not to notice messages from work. In all honesty, I might look at them, but I wouldn't respond and get involved in anything unless it was a legit emergency. It's really not good to let people think there are no boundaries and you're always available.

If you are on call is different . Unless the policy states that u need to respond to messages off the clock I would not do it . I put do not disturb on my notifications on my days off am glad we have that option.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
