If employers think it's bad, it's probably good.
All solvable by writing a fair contract, and paying people to be rotated on call instead of guilting people to being always on call.

This right to switch off is a great thing... Means employers have to solidify things like out of hours support and stuff....
I work in IT so I massively welcome this lol
precisely, each one of their "concerns" can be explicitly addressed and fairly compensated for. wonder which part of that they don't like
It's not much comfort but it's a very small group. Every poll taken shows overwhelming support by the queer community for trans rights. Lesbians, despite what the press presents, are actually the *most* supportive group.
The problem is a small minority has captured the media / political class in a really bizarre and unusual way and pushed the entire country to transphobia.
Labour have appointed Karin Smyth, who has met with transphobic hate groups, spoken in their defence, and advocated for their inclusion in Labour Party events, as Minister for Health and Social Care. She also spoke against the Scottish Government's plans to introduce self-ID.

Could of just got him to drop the n word or something in there or the p word. The not racist card he plays and sell it to the news for maximum profit.
Your duck picture needs to be a duck wearing glasses or holding a pen
I have such pictures but today didn't feel like a day for frivolity or, indeed, jubilance given the news.
But I shall be sure to delve into my burgeoning folder of duck portraits for your amusement in the coming days.
Looks like deepfake? I genuinely can't tell anymore.
Genuinely hope Labour lose some of their transphobic seats in bi elections, I think my best hope for next election is just cis people, cis women especially somehow manage to force Labour's hand, that or a hung parliament due to people voting more with their hearts than tactically, and Labour are forced to side with Lib Dems on the conditions that they drop and reverse their transphobic bullshit.
The really sad thing is that the party that hates trans people 0.01% less might well be the fucking tories.
I'm wondering how long before they mention the review of adult care that was brought forward.
And people wondered why some of us took anger at Labour's comments on the trans community, on how disabled people being out of work, on their language on immigration, on the Gaza issue, etc. So many times I've read Labour will move in the right direction when in power.
The attack on the trans community is not surprising and exactly what Labour have been saying very publicly for months. People being shocked is very much "Leopard face eating party" this is the stall they set out, why would they have gone back on their word if this lead to one of their greatest election victory? I hope in future cis white males accept how good a hand they've been dealt and not dismiss the concerns minority groups have, we can only go by the words sprouted out by the politicians. This nonsense about moving the overton window always ignored trans children suffering, because the gradual shift to the left, if there ever is one, will still end up killing children who's time is running out. They can't wait 5 years, they needed action now.
This government has already signed the death of trans children and I am worried on which minority group they attack next.
Their ignorance of the Forde report suggests no minority is safe to me.
The shit that was in the Forde report was disgusting but unsurprisingly, the press barely pushed the issue because institutional black and brown racism is ok in their minds.

Think of all the people they de-selected, and why. And this guy gets to stay. Are the tories genuinely more progressive racially?
People have been making a big deal of the labour cabinet only having one privately educated person, nobody is pointing out it also only has one minority.
In politics, they constantly think of image and optics. This hasn't happened by mistake.
Nobody's pointing that out because they would be wrong. There's Mahmood, Nandy, and Lammy. Miliband too, really.

Yeah… Glad you pointed it out. Not sure what made the original poster think otherwise?
I switched my cap from Go Labour to Fuck Labour as soon they were declared the winners
this is the kinda shit we would be laughing at in a Black Mirror episode few years ago, NOW ITS OUR FUCKING REALITY.
What a joke. Attending an orange order march with all the bigotry that entails. The orange order parades should be banned as they are nothing more than a display of anti Catholic hate.

I hope this comes to pass but I doubt it happens. I recently was let go from a 12 month contract 3 months in and there is nothing I can do about it even though the new manager was an absolute prick towards me.
Truss got kicked out and this guy comes in instead lmao

The way digital communications have not lessened our workload but allowed it to encroach into all aspects of our life is a huge injustice that has not been properly reckoned with. If you're thinking about work, you're not resting. You're not living.
You can always pay people to work an occasional "on call" shift like what happens in fields such as medicine or IT support should there be something project essential that requires late night readiness, but those should be rare exceptions and compensated with overtime or time off in lieu.
IIRC Charlie Brooker said he stopped writing Black Mirror episodes because reality was getting stranger than his fiction. Yeah, it checks out.
Ive communicated something like that to bosses before. They say "just because I send it after hours doesn't mean I expect a response after hours" but I've argued intention doesn't matter as it sets an example/expectation.
when every major email client allows you to schedule an email to be sent on a day/time of your choosing there's no excuse to have a 10pm sent time. Write it late at night if you prefer but don't have it deliver until 9am the next morning.
I agree, businesses can have a nasty habit of hassling people out of normal hours and making unreasonable demands on people.
I think it should also extend to private contracts (ie self employed) that dont have a 24/7 support requirement, or on call work. You can get some really weird, out of left field demands in this environment that are really unreasonable and can be spun as a breach of contract if ignored.
I've had some serious cases of main character syndrome with SME contracts before. Like, no I have many other clients who operate on a 9-5 type schedule. I cannot be working with you at 3-4am because thats when you personally are most productive, or because it would be convenient to your outsources who are in a different timezone.
There is nothing in our contract that stipulates this, and you're not my one and only client.
But hassle and criticise they do. Funilly enough, as SME contracts they're usually lower budget clients too.

Definitely agree that bosses who can't switch off are poison for a company culture.
yup, especially when they conveniently fail to see how their total comp puts after hours in a different perspective
if they want to show what a boss they are, schedule their emails to land first thing in the morning. it achieves the exact same outcome if they genuinely weren't expecting a response
Introducing my boss to scheduled email send was one of the greatest changes I made to my working week.
I've always had the right to switch off!
Because I just ignore anybody that messages after end of day.
But good to enshrine it in law for others.

Labour’s ‘rooftop revolution’ to deliver solar power to millions of UK homes
Ed Miliband sets new rules on solar panels and approves three giant solar farms as Labour seeks to end years of Tory inaction
www.theguardian.com
I don't work for them, and have no affiliation with them… however I have "invested" in Ripple's wind farms… if you do not have a roof, investing in their solar farms or wind farms will reduce your electric bills at a fraction of the cost of actually getting solar installed… I won't link to the website just in case I get accused of shilling but happy to talk in DM's if you have any questions
I also have solar installed on my roof… 😅
Also it is extremely irritating simply getting work emails during your rest time, even if you're not expected to reply. I don't mind if it's because of time zones or if it's a genuinely urgent thing, which it never is. I do fucking mind otherwise.
