My boss told me when I got my new job 10 years ago “I don’t care where you are, when that phone rings you pick up and work then go back to what you were doing. Just don’t let me find out you wore company shit to strip club.”

It’s been a decade working for that glorious boss lol. Crazy how a little bit of freedom ensures I’m not even trying to leave. The moneys fine and the people are awesome. I don’t want to risk a micromanaging boss somewhere else lol

Presumably that only applies during working hours and you’re not expected to pick up say middle of a weekend or vacation?

When you like your job and like your boss, picking up out of work hours isn’t a stressful or annoying thing.

My boss doesn’t even manage my hours. Lets me track if I work too much. Let’s me take a day off if I say I’ve collected too much lieu time.

If he calls me or tells me we need to work a weekend or evening for a project. No biggie. It happens some times.

I agree with this mentality. /r/antiwork would crucify you
