where i live, "they" can't expect you to be reachable outside of office hours. "lower demand" or whatever a "higher demand" job may be.
when the limits are clearly defined by law, employers can't abuse people like you who seem to have weaker positions
Seems like you're making a lot of assumptions. I'm in sales. I make money by being responsive, and having a smartphone gives me tools to use wherever I am instead of having to always going to a computer or tablet like the article describes
i was arguing with someone "in sales" about how there may be more important things in life than being responsive to make money at all times?
my bad. excuse me mister higher demand job
joking aside, you're probably young (excuse my assumption) if you still don't feel the urgency of disconnecting from work and having some undistracted time for yourself and your loved ones. Enjoy it while you can still do that without burning out
Again, you're making a lot of assumptions, which are incorrect. Not trying to give away all my personal information so I'll skip that.
I wasn't saying anything like "being responsive to make money at all times". We're commenting on a thread about an article advocating people get rid of their smartphones, and I said I couldn't do my job without a smartphone.
you also said/wrote 👉
it's not a luxury
what's a lower demand job?
why aren't you done with your job when you leave the office or if you're working from home like so many people, at a certain hour?
you permit yourself to make assumptions about so many people, i make assumptions (or rather deductions) from what you write
and i'm getting tired of this discussion. Glue that thing to your head if that makes you even more money 🤷
