You know, before smart phones, i enjoyed life more !
I didn't get work related emails out of hrs.(which really annoy the heck out of me). I may of rec'd a call every now and again, but people would only call if it was an emergency.
Now smart phones, which are pretty much compulsory in business, allows the worker to be on call every day and every night.. Unfortunately people do not respect your privacy and allow you time off, and i find myself checking and replying to work emails at all hrs. It's just given the bosses and those above a tool to get more out of the worker.
And well if you don't like it and start ignoring and not replying then you're not doing your job as well as the next person could do it...
I really wish in a way that they hadn't been invented.
I hardly use any of the apps anyway ! just a damn tool for answer work emails on, in my own time. Seems to be getting worse. Now its the norm to receive emails at all hrs, and you're just 'expected' to reply.
