Comment on California law would give employees the 'right to disconnect' during nonworking hours
starlord@lemm.ee 2 months agoI clarify with every job how many hours per week they’re paying me to do. I’ve never worked a minute past my agreed time without a contract stating how many extra hours were required, how much extra wages that would require, and under what circumstances such a clause can be triggered.
I didn’t realize others had so little control. It’s really heartbreaking.

Super toxic workplaces…
Last job I had was salary and it was 40 hrs a week minimum with “additional hours as needed by business needs”
This usually meant after hours server administration but if there was an outage then it was all you can eat unpaid overtime.
The worst part is mandatory 9am to 5pm coverage so no “evening out hours”
