Working and living in an industry that never sleeps

Work-life balance has been a recurring theme in the twenty first century. For a while “life” seemed to be making a come back. But more recently, with all pervading technology in its arsenal, “work” is fighting back. The latest view in the U.S. is that bosses are increasingly using text messages and email to contact staff after hours as a way to extend the working day without paying overtime. Employee groups are calling for new rules that limit such contact once the employee has gone home. They are also suggesting that employees routinely put automated “out of office” messages on their email as soon as they leave the office to block any unwanted intrusions on their leisure time. Should such a practice apply to Radio?
