Seriously? Have you ever worked where the expectation is you'll be on-call, even on your vacation?
If we're talking just socially, that will impact how the people you interact with perceive you. It's the same thing, as work, but with different stakes in terms of your ability to move among social groups that use texting constantly.

I reiterate for emphasis: Stop caring what the fuck others think about you.

You are working at your choice of employment out of your own free will; you chose to work that job that demands you be on call even on vacation. If you don't like it, you have a right to quit and find other arrangements better suited to your lifestyle.
I suppose you do not have a family or other ties? When you are young and unbound, the possibilities are a big bigger, than when you are settled down and don't want to uproot everyone to get a new job.
No, because that would be illegal in my country, as it is in many. One call to the relevant government department would launch an investigation and at minimum lead to hefty company fines and the practice stopping.
If that's normal to you, you should fix it or leave whatever country you live in. That would be laughable to most of us if it weren't so sad.
