re: A new bill would make it illegal to contact employees after work

Being available 24/7 has been one of the things that has set me apart in government and helped me jump quite a few 9-5ers.
I can plainly remember the CIO and CFO sending me emails near midnight and thanking me for responding timely. It helped develop a rep of “YMOM gets shite done.” even when I wasn’t.

Complain all you want but this makes sense for hourly employees.
If I was off the clock and my boss wants me to answer emails he can either pay overtime or GTFO.

We need laws for this sort of thing?

That isn’t fair to the lazy fricks you work with though.

People who work for corporations they have no ownership interest in are suckers if they think making work a priority outside of business hours is advantageous for their lives. You’re not a harder worker, you don’t care more, you’re just either a dummy or don’t have a life.

Some places already adhere to this. My employer has a policy that E-mails are not required to be read until the next time you are on the clock.
Nobody should have to work without financial compensation.

fricking millennials are ruining this country
Sure, Americans over about 150 years conquered and built a country, technology, infrastructure, won two world wars and emerged as the premier nation on the face of gods green earth.
Then they had the Baby boomers that taught us greed is good and work is more important than everything. Divorce rates skyrocketed, debt has skyrocketed, and they absentee raised a generation of parents that are now imparting their valueless views onto a generation of millenials you people love to hate.
We built the greatest nation in history through hard work and relying on family. And it took one generation to set it on the path of destruction.

People get hired to work 40 hrs a week. But then without any further compensation, start working more and more, and make themselves available outside the hours they agreed to work, basically giving away free work. These people think they’re smart and getting ahead, when in reality they are poor decision makers/negotiators.

You don't have to answer the phone or emails. If you do and you're hourly, just record your time.
But nah, let's get gubment all involved.

Most of reddit thought that the person who did answer the emails after hours or worked late was an a-hole for making everyone else look bad. They said it disrupted workplace camaraderie because of "that person".
That person shouldn't work harder than other people bc it's not fair that they have lives after hours.
I had no idea Reddit was filled with a bunch of lazy communists.

24 hr manufacturing = fricked
Yep. How many times are engineers, etc. are called in the middle of the night when such and such line is down?
For those who work at a business that closes its doors every evening at 5, you have no idea what it is like cringing every time your phone rings at 2 AM.

If you are bringing home a company phone and I have a work related question after hours and I call or text you id expect an answer.
Otherwise leave the phone on your desk before you leave the office.
As well as your laptop and your company vehicle stays in the parking lot. Find you own ride to and from work.
You’re only allowed to use the company truck, phone and laptop between the hours of 9-5

I’m going to make it to the top. I’m going to make the most $$$ possible to me. I won’t be outperformed or outworked.
So I find it perplexing people who are content with doing the same job for 25 years working the same hours. If I’m not moving forward, I’m dying.

Lots of people work without assured financial compensation. Evrerytime I put work into proposals I work without assured financial compensation. I did it yesterday for most of the day, and up to the wee hours of the night many nights as it’s the only time I can get the work in without being sidetracked. There’s no assuridity. You’d never make it with that attitude.

I have a lot of employees and I promise you more home problems are brought in to the workplace then work issues are brought home.

If the greatest generation was so great how did the boomers come about.
This whole generational stuff is simply stupid.
I have direct contact with about 20 millennials and they are all solid people.
