Not sure how other people are but I couldn't not have a smartphone for my job. Feels like that's either a luxury for rich people or one tiny benefit for people with lower demand jobs who are done with the job when they leave the office
what do you mean by "lower demand jobs who are done with the job when they leave the office"?
Like a job where they don't expect to be able to reach you outside of office hours
If u want to reach me outside of office hours i will be getting paid for all the time u want me to be listening otherwise u will be ignored.
To be honest I do get paid a lot more for this type of job than one where I'm strictly available 9-5.
a choice most people won't make. That's why you're paid a lot more
They do.
You’re not getting full time salary, but you’re getting paid a hell of a lot more than the 1% of the time you’re actually needed.
