@wredue, the trick is to dictate the direction of communications and mute after work comms. Also, if they make a real effort to reach out to you, make sure you are absolutely unavailable 90% of that time. "Hi uh, can you help us fix X problem", "unfortunately, I'm an hour away from home and don't have my laptop. I will be back around 10:00pm, if you still need help please reach out."
Poking fun at similar sites that plaster tech company logos on their splash pages to make it seem like they're important, when any real affiliation may be tenuous at best.
Gross to see toxic attitudes normalized like this. These folks could all benefit from reading the 15 commitments of conscious leadership https://conscious.is/15-commitments
In particular the bit about taking responsibility for ones circumstances

No thanks. This is a uniquely neoliberalist perspective on the collective human experience. The sentiment is toxic because much of the circumstance of ones life in the 21st century is not under their control at all.
