Bosses expect you are available 24/7 because hello, you are at home anyway right?

i find myself spending lesser time with family. I am physically here but glued to my machine due to workload.
you are expected to have that sense of urgency because economy isnt good, so better be on your toes and give that extra mile.
more than 10 hours a day
7 days a week

WFH has turned my otherwise decent working life to a corporate slave nightmare overnight.

I am exhausted and has come to hate my job in these past few months.

ok back to work tq for coming to my tedtalk

in my situation now, the only ppl who are free are the junior levels and operation staffs who are ignorant
even the C-Levels are online and working at this minute, not just the managers

is it the same over there?

There should be new SOP to limit working hours at home. Such as all company work to be done through company laptop, which has daily usage time limit. Pass the time limit, and it will auto log off with 5 min warning. System access will be blocked until the next working day.

May sound ridiculous, but if wfh becomes long term norm, surely such a system will be implemented.

This i agree with you. I have someone above me on holiday mood whenever he wfh. Its more difficult to get things done. Then higher pressure but good part is C level notice my effort. When covid19 come to an end. I don't want to live my life like this.

thanks but how do you set that boundary? phone calls, texts and email incoming non stop asking for progress and outcome. ignore then monday mati? direct reports apologize at one corner but furious when its not done on another.
