If there are issues/production problems I will get a call, regardless. When I'm on vacation I have a back up, but if it's bad enough I'll get a call. I'm fine with that.

But I'm not ok working normal business hours 7 days a week. I think we should have a 4 day work week. 32 hours. People will be more productive because they won't be as tired and they'll have better work/life balance.
