I work with agencies and clients.. I dont' work as a full time employee.. this stuff is actually present even if you run your own your own thing.
I find it very disrespectful when someone expects me to stay up day and night to finish project for them so they can have time to be with their kids, while I'm being rushed and pressured to deliver the project by a specific time.
Not sure if you follow what I'm saying.. this happens VERY often with clients and agencies and people (project managers and so on) with kids.
And even worse, they keep pressuring me, calling, panicking that they need stuff next day for example, only for me to find out that the deadline was Monday (instead of that Thursday), but that project manager for example has to spend time with kids, so it was totally ok for him/her to expect that I won't sleep for 2 days so he can go have a great time with his family.
This didn't happen once, this happens very often as I said.
I do it, and don't make a fuss because I understand that it means to them, but It's lame.
