    I mean…

    and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends

    I’d kill for that. Even if it’s legal in the states it definitely still feels like I gotta take calls all hours of the fucking day and night

      Amen to that. Where I work it seems to have regressed recently, too.

      It hit a point of sanity there, then there was a disruption in management… sigh.

      Never had a job that required me to answer after hours and wouldn’t accept one that did.

        I mean… I didn’t accept one to begin with, but I’ve been moved into one that that does.

            In some places that is called a “CLM”, or career-limiting move.

            Meaning, a great way to give the powers that be an excuse to fire you.

            Didn’t work that way. Cause if I don’t answer I get people who whine tear I never answer my phone, but also simultaneously don’t text me or leave voicemails
