I’ll go as far as saying we need legislation to cover this.
I do not like on call. I don’t actually mind the work but I don’t like the entitlement companies have towards it.
- foota 2y agoOn the one hand, sure, I like nice things. On the other, there is legislation to cover this, but you're exempted if you're making typical software engineer salaries (this varies state to state I think, it's not federal, but is fairly common). I feel like unionization would be a better route to this sort of benefit than trying to get a legislature to pass a bill for a group of people that are already very privileged.
- aaomidi 2y agoThis legislation already exists in other countries. For example Swiss engineers have very specific on call requirements, and their salaries aren’t really less than Americans.
