Is it normal for SME bosses to WhatsApp you on Sundays?

by Tan S.Y.·December 19, 2025

In Malaysia, unfortunately common. Best to set boundaries early. Mute notifications and respond only on Monday morning unless it is a genuine emergency (which it rarely is).

My boss used to call me at 11pm on Saturdays. I stopped answering. He got the message eventually.

SME culture is high-pressure. You need to be firm with your boundaries from day one.
