Can't solve the entire workaholic problem at once, baby steps. Next steps would be to nuke service access after business hours (email, remote desktop, etc).
Both Germany [1] and France [2] passed laws restricting the use of business email after work hours to ensure proper work/life balance.
I really like flexibility. To me that’s the balance. If they set your work hours how do you have balance? For example, dr appointment or meeting kids teacher in the middle of business day. The balance is being able to jump online that evening when you get home, IMO. So I’m always curious about how these mandated work hour things are implemented and enforced. Because if they just shut off the systems at 5pm, then you’re just missing work. That’s not balance.
