MY COLLEAGUE, let’s call him Luke, keeps his weekends free for "family time". Or at least, that’s what I thought.
He does not reply to emails on a Saturday or Sunday, or answer the phone. If you text him, you’ll receive back the auto-reply: "Luke has his notifications silenced". Come Monday morning, he’ll regale you with tales of weekend exploits: long lunches with friends, rambles in the Gloucestershire countryside. All very convincing.
Fair play. It’s not easy to keep two whole days of your life aside for leisure and relaxation, especially in this, I used to think.
