> 2. You can’t access your email remotely, really?

No. I do not have work email on my phone. You have had some awful jobs based on what you are saying here.

I’ve had some very fine jobs, but they did involve people counting on me to do work. I guess if you never did anything that mattered that can seem like a burden.

My job relies on me to do work and I set boundaries with my job. After my work is done, I am offline. In the case of an emergency, they know my phone number but I am not responding to each and every email after hours.

There was a 48 hour deadline. Nobody was expected to respond outside work hours.

A 48 hour deadline is abysmal. I've been sick for more than 48 hours before. Haven't you ever been off work for more than 48 hours at a time?

Set up auto reply. No I have never been physically incapable of checking email for 48 hours.

How is an auto-reply going to save you when you were supposed to fill out a list of 5 specific items or be fired?
