boss keeps whatsapping at insane hours

I work about 3 hours a day unpaid overtime. Onto of that, my boss regularly sends whatsapp messages asking unnecessary work questions at ridiculous hours. Case in point, this evening he messages at 21:30, yesterday at 22:00 – for questions which a. Are irrelevant and b. Can be asked in the morning. I have ignored them in the past – which resulted him in saying I am expected to be available 24/7… which is crazy. I have a PhD and would have thought that there would be at least some form of respect by now.

How to talk to managers you feel uncomfortable with.

Little back story, placed to be transferred mid Sept due to not being comfortable with my management. Managers told I would me transferred by end of Oct then 2 weeks before the end of Oct they told me they postponed my transfer. They postponed the transfer due to no one being able to replace my spot even though they hired new people to do the complete opposite of me (stuff that they are too lazy to do themselves). Was not too happy about how this was being handled and have been trying to look for other jobs while still attending this one for financial needs. ​ Now today I was called up to speak with the head of HR and she told me that the managers now feel uncomfortable with me. The managers stated that I do not talk to them as much and when I responded with requests regarding…
