Ask HN: Has shifting to remote made life worse for anyone else?
4 by notRobot | 1 comments on Hacker News.
A few days ago I was hanging out with a friend, and was surprised to see them receive a work call at 7PM, when officially their work day ends at 5:30PM. When I asked them about it, I was told that every since they were shifted to WFH, they've been expected to work for a lot more hours, but for no increased pay. They feel frustrated because their work-life balance has been thrown out of the window. I asked around in a few groups that I am part of, and this seems to not be an uncommon occurance, and is happening to people from all fields, not just tech. Have you experienced this? Do you have any solutions in mind?
