Does your job expect you to check e-mail on nights and weekends?

Not my current one fortunately. I have had jobs where this was expected though, not very fun.

If they do you can expect to be compensated accordingly.

Seems people at my company think I'm ready to just stop everything I'm doing to answer an e-mail after hours. I've purposely not answered any e-mails all weekend or today for the holiday.

Anyone have to play these games at their job also?

I understand

I probably receive like 30-40 emails every day, all work related

I bet you get hounded all day and night, paco. Unless you're flipping on a larger scale and only have to deal with a few guys.

In the past yes.

At my last job, yes. I would get phone calls 15 minutes after an email went out if I hadn't responded. Day, night, lunch, weekends, didn't matter. I was paid very well for it, but it still got old.

Thankfully my company's MS Outlook is linked directly to their server, locking me out indefinitely. If I had total access, that would truly suck due to the amount of email received thru various clients. Time consumption of mail reply's usually eats up 1 - 1 1/2 hours of my day alone.
