I've worked for 6 different employers in my life, Ive also employed people.
100% of my experience is that its rare for someone to ping me out of work hours, and if they do, I completely understand that its an emergency. Since I also care about the company's well being, (that's where I get my paycheck from), Im happy to help.
In 20 years as an employee or employer this has happened maybe 5 times.
I don't know where people are working that this is even an issue, but if at all possible consider switching jobs because youre working with sociopaths.
32 is too low, employers are going to leave California even more if this is approved.
- holoduke 5y agoI guess you work in IT like 90% of the people here. For those (and me) fixed working hours are non existent. But if you work in a factory , shop etc like 90% of the other people then a 32 hour work week would very much help getting a happier life. Maybe this won't work in the US. But in Europe I think it certainly does.
- jayski 5y agoI do work in IT. You make good points, my job involves a lot of sitting down and honestly slacking. If I worked standing up at a factory Im sure I would want 32 hours
- readams 5y agoWhat prevents an hourly employee from working 32 hours now? It seems like many hourly employees have the opposite problem: they want more hours but they can't get them scheduled.
