    In developed countries, your salary is for a fixed week of working hours. So if my shift is 6-14 monday-friday, I work for that time. Anything outside that is considered overtime and strictly regulated. People also have the right to refuse work calls after their shift ends.

      That’s not how it works in the US. But you could argue we aren’t a developed country anymore since Trump came into power.

        That’s exactly my point. Sorry to tell you but I can’t consider the US a developed country. It’s basically a third world country with a lot of billionaires and car-centric cities that look modern. But that’s basically it.
