That's some serious WTF, unless you were the only person in the company able to do that and it was an extinction event for the company if nobody dealt with it.

>unless you were the only person in the company able...

As someone who is also in a position like the OP, it's always "life or death".

Makes me think of the Foo Fighters song.

Wouldn't the rational thing be to turn off your phone when you take a vacation or even leave it at the office?

Why should an employee change their lifestyle while on vacation because their employer has no sense of fair and reasonable boundaries?
Why indeed? Given the pathological situation, I would however take steps to protect my free time, if changing jobs was not an option.
