Sounds like dude doesn’t know about the concept of teams paid to be on-call 24/7.
I’m sure those are exempt. If a well-managed critical server goes down at 2am, you can be sure some employee is part of an on-call team for just such an event.
That’s not with this about. This is about bugging people to work when they are off the clock.

I feel like this is a rare and very sane view. Businesses went over the edge at some point. No idea when though.

They didn’t go over the edge, people had to fight and die to get us to the edge we’re on now. They were actually worse in the past if you can actually believe it.

Businesses are the ones who put child in coal mines. They will take everything we can. Only together do we get any rights or protections

There was a factory in NYC that locked the doors so people wouldn’t take breaks outside. A fire happened and people died because of this. Afterwards they…did it again. Regulations are written in blood and usually because anyone expecting a business to do the right thing, especially a larger one, is so bewilderingly stupid that I’m shocked that their shriveled up brain can even keep their heart beating when they go to sleep at night.

As someone else pointed out. The triangle shirtwaist factory fire.
But as another example of businesses doing shitty things that led to people dying. The Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago. They didn’t want poor people changing seats to nicer ones so locked the doors to those areas when the play started and they bribed people to not finish their fire safety equipment but still get approved to open. Hundreds died.

It started in the 1980s with massive deregulation. I wonder who might have done that 🧐
