If you need to go to a different time zone for a meeting, you're on the clock. If you need to do the meeting online beause different time zone, you're on the clock. If you need to deliver a critical update, do you see where I'm going with this?, you're on the clock. If you're not on the clock, you have the right to say no. That is indeed how the real world works.Yeah, I can't make that meeting in different TZ or deliver the critical update because I need to work on a porn game... That's not how a real world works.
Okay, so an on-call job. That's fine then. Can't really say no in that situation.from what I know he's just been promoted as a manager of a werehouse and had to pass a state exam to get this position and apparently it's a shitshow with drunk drivers and not registered trucks and other things like that apparently so not really the kind of job you count your hours.
