i don’t know how much someone would have to pay me to tolerate dealing with work after work, but it’s more than anyone would ever pay me

I don’t work “traditional” hours. So it doesn’t bother when I’m called after hours. I work as needed. This week I’ll work maybe 5 hours. It’s actually busy this week. So if I’m called at 8pm. Who cares ? I have all day to run my errands.
Back when I worked in a traditional role. It drove me nuts the needless things I’d be contacted about after hours

Glad to hear that you found a position where your work experience is enjoyable and compatible with your life style. Given your last sentence, I hope you can see how the legislation mentioned here could potentially help people who have not yet been so lucky to achieve that.

I think it’s desperately needed. To get to where I’m at now I had to endure a lot of shit. Jobs shouldn’t be your life.
