How many times did your manager email you over Christmas Eve and Day? I received three "urgent" (but not really) emails from my boss. Lovely.

Are you serious?? What is wrong with your manager? But also - and seriously, no shade intended - what is wrong with you? Don't open your work email on holidays!!!

This is the answer. Just (don't) Do It.

I don’t look at emails when I am off work. Not evenings, not weekends and definitely not holidays.

Why would you respond unless there was a prior understanding? I’ve been a leader for 28 years, and I have never emailed any of my staff, under any circumstance over a holiday or over a weekend, not to mention even past working hours, unless the building is burning! Find a new job!

Your team is grateful, I'm sure! Good for you.

I guess I'm pretty lucky because my boss doesn't do that. We have emergencies, but nothing that can't be handled when you get back. I hope you're able to get some rest and relaxation at some point.

The best kind of boss! We should screen for that when job hunting.

In order for me to get a message when I'm on PTO it would have to be a text to my personal phone and only a couple of people have that number. I think they've used it once, when it truly was an emergency. Otherwise, everything waits til Monday.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
