I’m just one of countless victims of the launch of the cell phone in North American IT. This shit kills. Figurative and literally.

24 hour reachability is 24 hour work. Shit accumulates and all of a sudden you haven’t actually relaxed in 20 years and you get phantom phone vibrations.

Funny enough I wear a pager for 1/4 of my life now. But it’s totally fine because there’s on then off. Work days and not work days. Day and night. Work and life.

European cell phone adoption was about on par with the US. I don't think the technology is completely to blame here.

Yeah, but I'm browsing Lemmy, not checking if I have received an email from work.
