Is it fair for your boss to text you on Sunday afternoon asking for a deck - the comments were given at 5pm on Friday. She didn’t set expectations that it should be done over the weekend. Am industry.

No. Tell her you plan to tackle her comments first thing tomorrow based on when you received feedback.

This is why I keep a separate work cell. I would text back in a couple hours saying you apologize you have been with family and did not realize she wanted it back over the weekend. You will tackle it first thing tomorrow but to let you know if there’s something urgent that needs to be addressed tonight

A) y’all sound dishonest as crap, glad I don’t work with you, I can’t believe you prefer to pretend you haven’t seen a text or request (also FYI, all that does is invite phone calls) and B) McKinsey, glad to hear you are the epitome of perfection and have never made a mistake in your life and are 100% clear in every communication you have ever made and have never made in error in judgement in your planning and tasks to your team. I commend you on your accomplishments.
For the rest of us mere mortals, I think it’s a lot easier to just be honest and straightforward, respond to texts when I get them, and talk openly about work plans or issues

I mean, go with your gut check and give a benefit of doubt to her/team. If I have time on Sunday, and it makes my team’s situation better then I don’t mind working couple of hours on Sunday to get that done.. we all are humans and no one is perfect. If she missed telling you that and work needs to be done and you have time, why not.. if this gets repetitive, then that’s a different conversation.

I would ask if she needs it now or if first thing Monday is ok. If she’s texting though, it may be the reality of her expectations.

Guys, sometimes people make mistakes, maybe the boss is incredibly stressed about something and forgot to mention the deadline, can we give her a break for goodness sake. To my previous comments, just be an adult and respond and say you aren’t working on it currently, otherwise she is sitting there stressed/annoyed/upset and you’re sitting around also stressing for no reason

Book recommendation - "Ride of a lifetime" by Robert Iger. Story of someone who started as a studio operator and went on to become the CEO of Walt Disney.

Really relatable to most of us who are employees and not entrepreneurs. Books on Steve Jobs, Elon Musk are all good but I loved Robert's story more as I could relate and aspire. How he takes tough decisions, how he negotiated with Steve Jobs to acquire Pixar, his honesty, humility etc. are all something we can learn from. Go for it fishes 😄
