But why the heck do people get work emails to their private phones in the first place?
I just don't understand America. And, since this law was apparently necessary in Australia, not that either. They're both just weird.
- defrost 2y agoIn Australia the email thing being discussed is largely a sideshow to the law that was recently passed. The behaviour of concern relates to the kind of bosses | managers that make a point of contacting employees out of hours and pressuring them to attend the office | answer questions at length, etc. It's the direct phone calls and obsessive DM's @ 2 minute intervals that being targetted - most people handle auto generated work related emails well enough, they learn to disable notifications and have muscle memory for "Dismiss".
- CalRobert 2y agoI completely agree. But it's not just America, this was definitely common when I was working in Ireland for Irish companies too. I was the weird one for not having Slack on my phone. So far I haven't been fired for it. But maybe I haven't been promoted either.
