'You couldn’t tack a couple of 0’s on my salary for me to agree to that': Employee is told by boomer manager to be on-call 24/7, calls BS

Work culture is changing, slowly. However, the boom mentality of putting work above anything else in your live is still somehow clinging on to some companies. OP has been working at this job as a a personal care attendant supervisor for about a month now but has come to a the frightening realization that this job is 24/7. When he interviewed for the job he was told that it was not 24/7, however you will be expected to be on call at least once a week. OP has worked these kinds of jobs before and was perfectly fine to agree to that. 

However, once he started working he quickly realized just how unorganized the place is and how rude management is. He realized that he isn't on-call "once a week," but he is expected to drop anything he is doing at any moment 24/7. Now he can't even go to bed without worrying about getting called into work. And this job specifically is very important to be 100% focused when there, especially if it's an "emergency" call. That means he can't go out and have a drink with friends or stay up late thinking he might be able to sleep in. It's become a 24/7 job and he is calling BS. He turns to Reddit for some words of advice and many have something to say—check it out below! If you think this is a toxic work environment, heres another story where the workplace was so unsupportive and unhealthy that they quit on the spot—there's even a video!
