      Yup, agreed. In isolation, working late or unusual hours is not bad, but with the other things going on, perhaps worth them stepping back and evaluating if it’s the right thing to do.

      I doubt Colton has an on-call agreement to cover him getting call up on the show.

      I am currently doing on-call work, I get a daily lump sum to hold the phone, and a fixed call out sum of I get called out. There are lots of different arrangements it seems. Compensation and balance is key though

        There’s no “off hours” for csuite though. At that point you’re expected to act whether you’re balls deep in your partner or chilling at the office.

          I dunno if that is typical for most companies? I’m pretty sure the csuite of my company isn’t expected to be available 24/7. Neither would I expect that from the csuite of the BBC or any other media company?

          Im not in their industry, is it how it works at other companies?
