A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I would honestly be a better developer if this was enacted.

Don't worry, you'd still be exempt.

The problem is: they don't care one bit. :-(

Of course not. We have to use our bargaining power to make them care. But first people have to be aware of the idea. I’m glad this is getting some mainstream coverage here.

I've been taking a lot of leave lately to maximise public holidays (so taking the Monday or Friday off) to give myself a 4 day weekend. It's confirmed what I always knew - other than just being available for communication/meetings (which you obviously can schedule), I do my full time role on 32 hours. That's all I need and those are productive, committed hours.
