Keep your fancy valley salary (with the ridiculous rent prices attached), and I'll keep my European workers right's protection—including undisturbed sleep after my 8 hours workday.
Mostly things went smoothly so that's a pretty nice bonus.
Something ridiculous like that is luckily impossible in (most?) EU countries.
Is the effect unformal harm?
In the EU when you are on call this is a contractual thing.
That is not common in Europe. Generous compensation and additional time off is quite typical for engineers handling on-call burdens.
At one company, I was technically on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week for over ten years. Did I get called that often? No. Did I get called at the worst possible moments? Yes.
And it’s certainly industry-specific. Some doctors have this, firefighters—and software engineers. Contrary to the first two, they usually don’t save lives, but revenue though.
