Not everyone works 9-5. Many salaried employees are on call 24-7
You’re right, and that’s a shame; workers have lost a lot of ground in the past decades in terms of work/life balances. I hate my job, but realize it is one of the few 40 hour per week jobs left; we are on call IF we have a company-issued phone, so I don’t use one - any attempt to force one on me would have to be accompanied by a large pay increase. I no longer work beyond my scheduled hours, and will have to react only if I’m forced to train someone in the more sensitive areas of my work. My company has no reason to expect me to respond outside of those hours unless it is part of the disaster recovery plan (as happened after Hurricane Sandy a few years ago); I increased my hourly wages significantly by ending the 6-6 schedule I worked years ago (when resources - money - were sent to female office toys of men in high positions instead of real workers).
then Faraday bag that device.....and then claim that the wifi coverage stinks...
