This always-on culture we're in is awful. How do we stop it? Oh, sorry, hold on – just had another notification

Re: Not office hours? No contact

"In a similar way to zero-hours contracts aren't a problem for a lot of people, there are those - usually more vulnerable - for whom it is a real problem."

The problem isn't the thing, it's the people without enough confidence to stand up for themselves. I've been promoted (on more than one occasion) for standing up for myself, but never fired. Bosses are happy to learn not only that their middle manager is a cock, but that there's a readymade replacement.
