My wife gets upset if I get calls from work sometimes.
Not only does my boss call but other subs and clients call.
I don’t charge time for them unless it’s a client I don’t care for and I find bothersome.

Under a Union, my previous employer could call to Canvass a OT Opportunity, to call for information had to be paid a Minimum 2 hour clock time. The challenges were made during my time at the power station and not once did they ever NOT pay the 2 hour minimum if called any on my crew.
If on Vacation, the employer IN NO WAY could call a employee except management persons, they could be called in regardless where or how much money would lose to come back to site. Union could NOT be contacted until returned to normal hours first day after off Vacation.

Different strokes for different folks. In other words, different workplaces don't share the same culture and expectations. Also, depends on what your position is at your company. You know what yours is, that should guide your decision, not the experience of someone else at theirs.

and gals handle calls from work, when you are on days off?
A little background, my dear wife who spent the majority of her working career in either a State or University employee, goes absolutely apoplectic when my employer calls me at home on my days off, she will rant & rave for 1/2 an hour afterwards if I answer the call.
She claims when she worked, even when she a supervisor or lead worker, she/they never ever would call somebody at home, no matter the circumstances, even if the ‘place was on fire’, she says employees should never be called when on days off/vacation etc.
How do you guys, and gals handle this situation?

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.
