I do set my own boundaries. You are completely correct.
In my opinion those are my personal boundaries though. If the company called and expected my help during my private time, I wouldnt complain. I would either bust my butt to get back or I would decide it wasnt worth it.
I think that what I am trying to say is that I dont agree with those saying the company is at fault. I dont agree with the feeling entitlement employees have that the company should not impact their private time. If they dont like it, get a new job. The company has one responsibility and that is to the owner or the shareholders.
I personally enforce boundaries for my employees because I think that makes a good boss. I try not to impact them because I like them to be happy with their situation. But if I need them and it is afterhours they have no place to complain.
Thats all though.

Submission + - "Web site" term eludes judge
An anonymous reader writes: LONDON (Reuters) — A British judge admitted on Wednesday he was struggling to cope with basic terms like "Web site" in the trial of three men accused of inciting terrorism via the Internet.
Judge Peter Openshaw broke into the questioning of a witness about a Web forum used by alleged Islamist radicals.
"The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a Web site is," he told a London court during the trial of three men charged under anti-terrorism laws.
Prosecutor Mark Ellison briefly set aside his questioning to explain the terms "Web site" and "forum." An exchange followed in which the 59-year-old judge acknowledged: "I haven't quite grasped the concepts."
Appeals Court Denies Safe Harbor for Roommates.com 253
Mariner writes "The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Roommates.com Safe Harbor status under the Communications Decency Act in a lawsuit brought by the Fair Housing Councils of San Fernando Valley and San Diego. Roommates.com was accused of helping landlords discriminate against certain kinds of tenants due to a couple of questions on the Roommates.com registration form: gender and sexual orientation. 'Though it refused to rule on whether Roommates.com actually violated the Fair Housing Act, the Court did find that it lost Section 230 immunity because it required users to enter that information in order to proceed. As Judge Alex Kozinski put it in his opinion, "if it is responsible, in whole or in part, for creating or developing the information, it becomes a content provider and is not entitled to CDA immunity."'"
