[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If employers want to go back to 1995, I'm going back to 1995 too.

No overtime without overtime pay, no checking email on weekends, I do my 8 hours 5 days a week and take my 30 minute lunch break outside the building and that's it.

It's what you have to do to be able to just do other basic activities of living if employers won't be flexible. [/quote]

You obviously weren’t working a professional job in 1995.  Yes, white collar salaried workers were working way more than 40 hours a week.  [/quote]

My dad, a PhD chemist who was a group leader in the ag industry at that time, was absolutely not working more than 40 a week in 1995.

When I interned at his company as a college student, I learned that company policy was to tell them where to reach you when you were on vacation.

I said “Dad, have you been doing this?” In 20+ years he had never once gotten contacted on vacation, so I wondered.

He said “Hell no. The only people who do that hate their families.”

No cell phone. Minimal email. Carpooler, so set transportation times every day.

Yes, I would take 1995 rules.[/quote]
