What is your own time when you work remotely with flexible hours?

• purple_turtle 2y ago
  The time I am not getting paid for. If employer want to control my time they are obligated to pay me for it. If they want to control all of it, I expect to be paid hourly rate 24h/day.

    Good luck enforcing that if there's a controversy. You never check personal email on company devices? Participate in mailing lists? Bug trackers for personal projects? Business hours is an obsolete concept in modern world, unless you work in an office with precise time tracking. A signed agreement from your employer is the only thing that holds and that's why FSF asks for it.

      > You never check personal email on company devices? Participate in mailing lists? Bug trackers for personal projects? no there is no chance whatsoever that something as critical as my email signin is on any device not fully controlled by myself the same goes for malware/Microsoft OS requested by employer, if they have need for it they need to provide hardware for running it > Business hours is an obsolete concept in modern world, unless you work in an office with precise time tracking. I charge per hour, I do a precise time tracking.

      > You never check personal email on company devices? Participate in mailing lists? Bug trackers for personal projects? No, of course I don't. Work time is work time, and personal time is personal time. > Business hours is an obsolete concept in modern world, unless you work in an office with precise time tracking. It's not obsolete at all. Some people are foolish enough to blend working time and personal time, which is their affair. But lots of us understand the wisdom of keeping business hours separate.

        Life and work can be very well separated even without working 8 hours straight from 9 to 5. That's the obsolete part.
