This always-on culture we're in is awful. How do we stop it? Oh, sorry, hold on – just had another notification

"When working for small companies, I have been a lot more flexible, but that is because there is a lot more give and take."

That's one of the perks of working with a small company. There's some risk about stability and budgets aren't as open ended, but hours can be flexible and often times it's possible to put in extra hours and get them refunded in days off. That can be great if you have kids. I might also mean getting an extra day off on one end of a bank holiday which can let you avoid the worst of the traffic if you have plans to be elsewhere.
