When on IT jobs more strenuous than the current one, we were "on duty" 7/24/365. If batch processes were running, and blew up, the phone rang, and we had to deal with the abend. That's professional life. You are paid for to do the job and to meet target dates. Raises, bonuses, and layoffs were based on such performance. We don't punch clocks. It has always been that way.That's understood in some IT and other fields and people are paid on that basis. What's happening with this working from home idiocy, however, is that bosses are forcing people with ordinary office jobs normally done within normal business hours to be available long outside those hours. Workers are deprived of any clear boundaries between work and non-work. Couple that with the complete absense of all in-person interaction, no chitchat at the water cooler, and it's a recipe for depression and many other psychological issues. |
