Three Hours Longer, the Pandemic Workday Has Obliterated Work-Life Balance
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoFor those who have children, and who now have to care for those children (who are now home from school all day) and work, I can see it. But for everyone else? Why would the pandemic make people work longer? Why blame the boss sending you emails on Easter Sunday and expecting an immediate response on the pandemic, rather than on the boss having lost any sense of the employees having time away from work? I mean, I suppose that work-from-home made it easier for the boss to lose the distinction between "employees are at work" and "employees are not at work", but that's really the boss's pushiness finding an excuse. The conclusion may be that, if you're going to work remotely, your boss's character and personality matters even more.
