To be honest, I'm also someone who doesn't mind jumping online to fix something quickly in off hours. But I think the ad that prompted the post by dhh is part of a trend in our society that is only going to get worse. It's ok for you and me who can find a job in a week, but that isn't most people. Most people don't have the option of telling their boss that it's after hours. They'll lose their job, or significantly endanger their job/raise/bonus/performance eval/etc. if they do so.

There has been an amazing increase in productivity over the last 20+ years, but all it's led to is companies making their employees do more. The ads just reinforce that this is ok. That you are at the mercy of your job 24/7/365. It's a disturbing trend.
