Is it rude to not answer your manager's/colleague's phone calls beyond your working hours? Will it invite any serious repurcussions?

Yeah I guess. Pick up if it's not a regular thing. Otherwise set up a 1:1 to discuss work life balance with your manager

I think it depends. If it's rare then fine I'll pick up. But if it's a constant thing, I nope out and like Amazon said above, have a chat with them to understand why it's happening

I would never pick up the phone. Once, I'm off, IM OFF.

Unless I'm on call, that's gonna go to voicemail everytime. I get paid to do the company's bidding during work hours, I'm not going to sacrifice family time in the evenings to work for free.

I guess it would depend on whether it was rare or commonplace. If rare, I'd probably assume it was some type of emergency and pick up. If it wasn't urgent, I'd definitely not make a habit of it.

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are.

They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.
