My new manager asked me how he could get a hold of me over the weekend. "You don't!" Is what I wish I were brave enough to say. Instead, I gave him my personal cell phone number... I'm terrified of losing this job right now. So, I keep buckling when I get what I consider unreasonable requests at work. I mean, what would you do? Who is really going to risk their job by pissing off their manager in this market?

Monday is a tax deadline. If you’re in tax, doesn’t seem like an unreasonable request.

So, after October 15th, the OP should not expect any calls or texts outside of normal work hours, right?

The answer should have been "ask HR"

Are you expected to work over the weekends but haven’t been answering emails or responsive?

No idea what your role is but many are expected to work weekends at least at certain times.

I think unless working weekends is mandatory at some points that it's a shitty question on your manager's part but I totally get why you're afraid of pushing back.

Aren't you salary? I was expected to work 55 hours through busy seasons (yes seasons i worked on EPs too)
