Totally.
Nobody seems to keep regular hours anymore and when a few people are on the clock whenever, it forces everyone else to be pretty much.
Since working from home, I put in at least some time 7 days a week. My total number of hours hasn't increased, but there isn't a single day of the week that I am "off" now.
Probably showing my age here, but when I started as a junior doing field work, it was before cell phones were expected. They existed, but it was a luxury. We were given pagers and a roll of quarters. It was really easy to ignore work. Now with smart phones, work never stops.
