'[My boss] never called past 5 p.m. again:' Banker uses the time difference to his advantage to make his boss respect his work hours

Many businesses depend on international deals and teams. It's exciting to get other cultures and markets into your business. But it's not easy. There are many factors you have to consider, one of the most obvious ones being the time differences. 

It's unprofessional to call your employees after working hours, but for some reasons many bosses and managers think that it's okay to call you after work hours, because in their time zone it's still work hours. Work hours. Work hours. Work hours. Like, what is there hard to get there, boss? A Redditor shared the story of a family member who was a trust agent at a bank back in the day. They were on the east coast and their boss was on the west. They would always call in the evening way after work hours. Usually he would be eating dinner or having family time and he would be interrupted by his boss demanding something for work. He tried to set the boundary to only call him during his work hours. But nope. 

So finally he decided to use this to his advantage. After an unpleasant wake up call to his boss, the upper management quickly learned to respect their employees set work hours.
