Having a healthy work-life balance is one of the most important aspects of a career. A fulfilling life outside of work not only makes work more manageable but also, in my opinion, enhances one’s performance as an employee.
If I were in a leadership position, I would prioritize ensuring that my employees maintain a healthy work-life balance. Unfortunately, in the case of this employee, that wasn’t the case.
The worker was promised work-life balance in a salaried job but ended up being contacted by their boss on nights and weekends. They tried to avoid the calls and suggested scheduling in advance, but their boss insisted on last-minute requests.
Frustrated coworkers criticized them for not working extra hours, but OP defended their decision based on the promises made during the job interview. So they asked folks in r/AITA if they were wrong for refusing to work evenings and weekends.
