My boss texts me constantly. Early mornings, late at night, even during vacation... It's non-stop. Am I the only one with a boss who doesn't respect boundaries?

I think I may come across worse when it comes to after hours emails 😂 I'm a lot better now but I used to constantly check emails at night and answer a lot of them to get things out of my inbox so I wasn't stressed in the morning. I have multiple execs that when they email at all hours of the day, they will specifically say not to answer until the morning. Luckily, most do not text me after hours or on the weekend unless it is an emergency. Though I have one exec that has a habit of calling after hours on an early release day. He can claim he didn't realize it was an early release day, but I clearly mark it in his calendar and block it as out of office.

does your boss expect you to respond?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
