How do you stop your boss from invading your personal life via text? Does anyone else work at a place where urgent emails are sent at 11 PM on a Friday for things that don't matter until Tuesday? My boss has zero concept of time management and expects everyone to be on call 24/7 without the actual pay for it. If I don't respond within twenty minutes, I get a follow-up text on my personal phone asking if I’m missing something.

You need to tell your boss that you're not at work at 11 pm on a Friday. They shouldn't need to be told, but perhaps they do. I get that sometimes people fire off texts when they think of them, but they don't expect a response. If your boss is expecting you to deal with something that late and on your own time, that's just wrong and you need to set some boundaries.

Block their number on your personal phone. Don’t respond on the work phone or turn it off.

This is a good idea! But I’m sure it would cause a lot of follow up questions 🫣
