Manager - “I know it’s late but I really need this tonight.”
Manager’s wife in background: “Really... you are going to make her work late to give you something you aren’t going to look at? Why do you need it today? “
Manager: “by end of day tomorrow is fine”.

When I was a SA - manager and I along with offshore team was in a conf call for tech discussions that needed to be done and it was 12am on a Saturday morning. Off shore dropped off and manger insisted that we both continue discussion for another hour or so. His wife came out and she went “it’s already 1am. How long are you going to work? it’s weekend and we have guests at home?”. Guess what the manager dropped off and we had the whole weekend off. To folks saying voices can’t be heard from other side - my manager was on speaker. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks
