My my manager once tried this. “We are a 24x7 shop” he said in a big meeting. I replied right to his face, “We are a 24x7 shop but I am not a 24x7 employee.”

I went self (un)employed back in '91, providing on site service and network support to several small businesses that were trapped between being unable to afford a full time IT guy and support services that started around $95/hr. I'm retired now. For a lot of years I worked insane hours to make sure a bunch of small business owners just like me had the tools they needed to do their job.
Tried hiring help now and then. I guess they all thought my business model was unjust, immoral and abusive. F' 'em.
They had an Ironman Triathlon going on here last Sunday.

I was on the other end of the island riding my 3 spd.
Life is good.
