Some employers want to be able to contact their staff at all times, even on holidays. Undoubtedly, each grown man has a strong need to find a permanent and decent job which would allow him to feel comfortable. Speaking of work, besides money and benefits many factors aren’t unimportant as well! By saying this I talk about boss’ attitude towards his employers. Huge number of chiefs consider that discussions with their workers is acceptable even during their days off and they ought to be available 24/7. I will try to weight all pros and cons, and fire away my subjective opinion.

Speaking of myself, I have 2 totally contrary personal experiences when my bosses were contacting me while my rest days. I worked for a company which is concentrated in selling a medical machines for private clinics. During the time I worked there, I didn’t know how to take a rest of this work! Because my boss was calling me 2-3 times a day without strong necessity! It become very tedious, because she tend to have long, meaningless monologues. Moreover, it wasn’t a big deal if she called me at 11 pm. I couldn’t stand this and finally Irina forced me to leave this job.

Thank god bosses aren’t identical and some of them are sensible, respectful and adequate. My other story is totally contradicting, and the employer was absolutely distinctive as well. Long time ago I spent my time working at the fitness center. The coordinator and the boss, it was the same person. He was very polite individual who actually called me when I was resting home as well. The main distinction is that Maxim never called me to chat about a nonsense. As soon as I have received a call from him, my deduction told me that he needs assistance, I’m the one who can help him at this moment and this is extremely important!

Some employers want to be able to contact their staff at all times, even on holidays.

Undoubtedly, each grown man has a strong need to find a permanent and decent job which would allow him to feel comfortable. However, besides money and benefits, there are many more important factors (to consider when finding a job?)! I'm referring to factors such as your potential boss’ attitude towards his employers. Huge number of bosses/employers consider discussions with their workers (subordinates, perhaps?) is acceptable even during their days off and feel that they ought to be available 24/7. I will try to weigh all of the pros and cons and fire away my subjective opinion.

Personally, I have 2 totally contrary personal experiences when my bosses were contacting me off the clock. I worked for a company which is concentrated in selling medical machines to private clinics. During the time I worked there, I didn’t know how to take a break! My boss was calling me 2-3 times a day for no substantial reason! It become very tedious, because she tended to have long, meaningless monologues. Moreover, it wasn’t uncommon for her to call me at 11 pm. I couldn’t stand this and finally Irina (is this your boss?) forced me to leave this job.

Thank god bosses aren’t identical and some of them are sensible, respectful and adequate. My other story is totally contradictory, and the employer was absolutely distinctive as well. A long time ago I spent my time working at the fitness center. The coordinator and the boss, were the same person. (You could also say: The same person was both the coordinator and boss) He was a very polite individual who actually called me when I was resting home as well. The main difference was that Maxim never called me to chat about nonsense. As soon as I received a call from him, my deduction told me (it might sound more natural to say: "I could tell") that he needed assistance and that I was the one who could help him at that moment. This is extremely important!
