Technology needs to downgrade some things that went in the wrong direction

I sm sorry if I am on holidays I am holidays not on work. It's not like I have them booked already and approved. If the place I work have no other person to do my job for when I am out that's a they problem not a me problem.

At the end of the day people make a choice whether to be available and that's OK so long as they're appropriately recompensed for it. The problem only arises where you aren't recompensed for it. Ultimately if someone else can do it, and will do it, when you won't then you will hit your peak at a much lower level.

Technology just makes it easier to be on the profitable side. You can sit down for lunch on your holiday on a Sunday in Tokyo and check an email from someone back in the office looking for unique information that only you know and you can reply within 10 minutes, facilitated by modern technology and you can get paid a premium for that availability and knowledge.

If you're not available and won't respond then the client or employer will make sure that next time it's not you that's being paid a premium to be available and then it becomes a you problem.

So instead of checking a phone and replying to emails for maybe an hour per day, you end up wasting your life away on a salary that you're not happy with, complaining about the affordability of housing that's being snapped up by others who can affford it. Convinving yourself that the cans of lager that you bought in bulk at a reasonable price for your Saturday night at home again is better than the night out to eat in the restaurant that you want but can't afford. And worse still, your cherished annual leave is wasted on a package deal to Lanzarote again because you've been to Majorca the last two years and the kids are just too bored to go there again. Meanwhile you're moaning about they guy who checked his email in bed when he woke up, again when he had lunch and then a third time when he came home to change for dinner while on holiday, but he's somewhere that the guy who wouldn't ruin his holiday could only dream about.

I was not really been serious. But yes your stuff for your personal life should not be mixed with your work life

I feel sad for the family who are sharing the part-time holiday maker with his colleagues.

The whole U16 thing is a distraction. We need to fix the problem, not protect some children (the ones not smart enough to operate a VPN) from the problem.

How will the providers know whether the end user is coming from a country to which the ban applies or not?

In 'apps' search for "weather" and then have a look at the settings options that are listed.

It's probably slightly different if you're working for someone else but if you're running a successful business you could find yourself with serious issues very quickly if you switch off completely. In terms of employees in general, those employees at the highest levels of most organisations will not be strict 8-5.30pm type people and they generally get there by going that extra mile. The majority of people in those positions don't just sit back and relax when they get to a certain level of seniority. You would expect that they will be in demand so to retain them you would want their compensation to somehow align their interests with going the extra mile for your business, whether that's significant profit participation, share options, a bonus adding a significant percentage to the base salary etc.

People act like what I'm saying isn't common but I gaurantee that the majority of people in, or with serious ambition, to run a successful business, work in c-suite roles, many people working in finance, partners in commercial legal practices, doctors/surgeons/consultants etc are all working in excess of 50 hours per week and remain available or connected for a good portion of hours outside of that. It might not be paid in terms of hourly paid but ultimately it's factored into the overall compensation package/profit at the end of a year.
