Today I was coming off a lovely 2 week vacation (my first break for more than a week in several years) but on Friday I got a Monday morning meeting invite set for 30 minutes before I usually start for the day. It was just a little taste of work crap to make sure the office was on my mind all weekend.
My strategy is to not look at work emails outside work time.
You can neither attend nor be stressed about a meeting that occurs earlier than you start work, if you don't know it exists.
I have a minimum amount of availability I have to maintain because servers and network hardware crashes don't care about holidays.
This is how my job is. If something goes horribly wrong after hours we get a text, but if I'm not at home doing nothing already then it has to wait and I'll get to it when I can, and that's expected.
In exchange we get to sort of do what we want and leave early whenever. Yesterday I took off at lunch and went sledding with the family. I only ever use my PTO for actual vacations or days where I'll be completely unavailable.
I personally love it, I would love on call pay too but that freedom to take my son sledding on a snow day without having to lose pay is incredible. There's only ever been 1 emergency issue in the past 2 years that I've had to hop on after hours to take care of.
That's what oncall rotations are for. If you're not oncall, don't be available outside your regular working hours
When servers go down everyone is on call. Both of us.
My first tech job was somewhere like that.
Never again.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Then rich can afford to protect themselves, we can't. We lose in that conflict. Whatever freedoms you think you have now will be restricted in a society where the rich are worried about their safety.
They don't lose anything. In fact, I bet it's even convenient for them to have reasons to build cages around everyone. Lots of money in building survellience, tracking people, spying on people.
The initial state of that has begun with Google but it's not going to end. Decades from now, it's possible that people will envy that previous generations could use the internet without identifying themselves, or go into buildings without a retina scan.
it didn't protect the nobility of France, the royalty of Russia or frankly anyone in Cambodia
This is literal cope propaganda for the rich.
We are hundreds of years from AI that will meaningfully replace the jobs of the poor. Or meaningfully protect the rich.
No person alive today will be able to live without depending on other humans.
That's the thing though, if they turn things into an overt police state against the masses, they'll start losing the current ignoramuses who still think everything is fine.
If they escalate, they give their exploited capital batteries reason to escalate. Part of their whole grift is convincing their victims that we're a society and that class war is unseemly. Retina scans, armed security, and bars between us and them makes them look even more like the enemies of the people. Please escalate, oligarchs, we need more of your rubes to see who you are more clearly.
This dystopia of propaganda based servitude where they use their media to turn us on one another using social wedges to maintain control only continues to work if they don't start looking like the Corpo fascist empire that they are.
No, they will crack down harder, think Combine. Proles will be mutilated into unthinking homunculus, and resistance will be met with deadly force and conversion.
Remember, the rich are otherworldly entities with incomprehensible powers, and not humans like the rest of us.
Nah. There are far more of us than them.
That's part of the joke
I missed your last sentence, whoops. That 1984 dude was talking like the rich assholes aren't also blood bags.

Oof, that’s old-school Jeremy Allen White from Shameless
Lip!
FYI, few must work for the "worst" people. It takes time to shift to a new job, so start today. (Souce: once worked for terrible people.)
(It is still rough to get back to work after a holiday.)

Making money for the worst of us is a delightful turn of phrase.
