> For example: that your company is okay with you being offline for _16 hours_ of the day. It is scary that this could be controversial? Most jobs in the US are 40 hours per week or 8 hours per day. So yes, you absolutely should be offline (from work networks & apps anyway) for 16 hours a day on weekdays. Sure if you have an on-call week that's an exception but you should be getting compensated in some way (on-call pay in larger companies, or the lure of those sweet options (probably worth nothing) in a startup). Don't work for free!
