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?
