Episode description
We have had the biggest world-wide event since the second world war, the impact is widespread and devastating to the economy. Yet, Portugal have now made it illegal for bosses to text or contact workers outside of work hours. Listen in to why Rob believes this is a massive mistake.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In Portugal, if bosses contact their employees outside of office hours then they can be fined.
- Rob is worried about this coming to the UK, how would it work for emergencies and flexible working. Also, surely now is the time we need to be more productive, not less so, after the impact of the pandemic. We have to innovate and be creative to solve problems, not create more barriers.
- Digital nomad is now a term in the dictionary. They work anytime, anywhere. How would this work if we are restricted to working hours?
- People don’t have to reply to messages or answer their phone. It should be everyone’s right to message someone they have an agreement with (e.g someone you work with or a friend) and it is the other person’s right to not respond. It doesn’t have to be made illegal.
BEST MOMENTS
“Do not bring it to the UK, we need to work ourselves back into a good economic situation again”
“I don’t work office hours anyway and digital nomads don’t work office hours either"
"We have to creatively problem solve, not put up more barriers"
