Why the hell do bosses think you should be available all the time?

I returned to work today after a 2 week mini-vacation during which I spent time with my family and away from the drudgery of work. I walk to my bosses room to discuss my tasks for the day. The first thing he does is not ask me if I enjoyed my time off or what I was up to the last couple of weeks, but rather tell me in an annoyed tone that I didn't respond to a work email I received a week ago (while I was still on leave). This obviously annoyed me and I bluntly responded with “I was on leave”. He says “Yeah but it was a 15 minute task at most”. I don't give a fuck if it was a 30 second task, I'm not doing anything work related if I'm on fucking leave. I've been fuming about this the entire day and have intentionally…

I was hired as entry-level A, forced to work as B for 6 months, low pay and no help

I was hired as QA – entry level (switched career). They commented on me that I didn't know anything but I spoke confidently so they hired me with a very low pay. I accepted. They told me to work as font-end developer as “challenge” to see if I was honest and wanted to work for them. Completely alone, no support, nothing. I asked them if I could leave, they said no, I already signed the 6 months contract, or I would have to pay them money. I thought they meant it. I managed to study HTML CSS, JS, SQL alone, and run the project and fix all the things they told me to without a senior or any support. After 5 months I reached my limit, I wanted to work as QA, I asked them if the challenge was done. They told me that they sorry but they just got…
