      There are companies in the United States that you have heard of that do this. I work for one so I can’t tell you the name. It is possible. It doesn’t go for management though.

      I already have the right to do this, it’s called ignoring that shit if I am not being paid handsomely to be on standby.

      That should be a thing anywhere and everywhere. I work a job with fixed hours and get paid hourly. I don’t read or respond to work emails outside of my work hours, nor do I do anything work related. Since you don’t pay me, don’t expect me to do anything for you.

      (I am a Canadian living in Ontario, where this kind of law applies as well, despite the fact that the company I work for is headquartered in California. Where the employee is physically located determines what laws apply to that employee.)

      You already have the right to do this. It’s called you’re after work hours and can ignore any call

      I bet it’s going to be just like in the US.

      Sure, you don’t have to answer your phone and you can ignore their pleas for your attention all weekend long. Legally, there’s nothing they can do about it.

      Though they will make a note of that and next time they need to lay somebody off, guess who’ll be getting the boot?

      It’s their world and they force us to play by their rules. That’s why I don’t give two shits about any of them and will never feel even remotely bad about jumping ship.

      That’s why I email things to the guys that worked for me as opposed to calling/texting.

      In our IT policy it *explicitly* stated that they were not to access their work emails on personal computers, phones, tablets, etc and that they were only expected to review emails during business hours (8-4). That last part was actually in bold and required them to initial it as when they signed the policy. And we policed it.

      I don’t understand people thinking that they must absolutely have an answer at 7pm on a Tuesday. It’s just that they have come to expect any information at any time they like due to the internet.

      For international companies it can be very hard to get everyone on a call at a reasonable time. I always try to take the hit on my side but what are you supposed to do if you need to get the US, UK, and Australia all on one call? It’s going to screw someone no matter what.
