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, <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">there are many more important factors (to consider when finding a job?)</font>! <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">I'm referring to </font>factors such as your potential boss’ attitude towards his employers. Huge number of bosses/employers consider discussions with their <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">workers (subordinates, perhaps?)</font> is acceptable even during their days off and <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">feel</font><font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> that </font>they ought to be available 24/7. I will try to <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">weigh all of the </font>pros and cons and fire away my subjective opinion.
<font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Personally</font>, I have 2 totally contrary personal experiences when my bosses were contacting me <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">off the clock</font>. I worked for a company which is concentrated in selling medical machines <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">to</font> private clinics. During the time I worked there, I didn’t know how to take a <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">break</font>! My boss was calling me 2-3 times a day<font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> for no substantial reason!</font> It become very tedious, because she <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">tended</font> to have long, meaningless monologues. Moreover, it <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">wasn’t uncommon for her to call me</font> at 11 pm. I couldn’t stand this and finally <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Irina</font> (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, <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">were</font> the same person. (You could also say: The same person was both the coordinator and boss) He was <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">a</font> 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, <font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">my deduction told me (it might sound more natural to say: "I could tell")</font> that he needed assistance<font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> and that I was the one who could help him at that moment. </font><font color="#000000" style="background-color: inherit;">T</font>his is extremely important!
