This is a pretty self-selecting group, so I'm not surprised that most people reading this don't have a problem with after-hours coms. If you've ever worked in hospitality or retail, you'll know that managers will call/contact you at all hours to make sure they have coverage. It's irritating.

You don’t have to take that job if you don’t like it. Just price the extra work in your hourly rate requirement and if the job does not meet that, then don’t apply for that job.

Freedom is not complicated.
