Workers In Brazil Can Claim Overtime For Answering Email After Hours 198
New submitter zzyvits writes "With smartphones becoming more and more common, the push for employees to work after hours is becoming greater. Would the push be as hard if the employers had to pay for it? A law recently passed in Brazil makes it possible for employees who answer emails after normal work hours to claim overtime pay."

Who is responsible for being so fair to workers? We'd never get that here (meaning US.)

Maybe I want to market myself as somebody who isn't worried about inhaling toxic gasses. Worker safety laws are a coercion of freedom.
If workers don't want to inhale toxic gasses, then they won't take those jobs. Just like how that happened before worker safety laws.

Competent IT will put in Stream reflectors for the users.
We put that in place for the 10 top played internet radio streams in the company, the $200.00 linux servers connects, and then rebroadcasts the stream to up to 500 users.
So I have 500 people listening with the bandwidth overhead of 10.

I think there should be a law that if an employee asks the CEO of a company to take his kid to school, MAYBE the CEO could bill the employee for it.
Oh wait... that NEVER happens, but he’ll ask you to take time FROM YOUR FUCKING FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND PERSONAL LIFE, to
DO SHIT FOR HIM, so he can PROFIT FROM YOUR FREE WORK!
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE????????????????
I won’t reply to an e-mail offhours even if it’s somebody asking for help
as they are being cut down to pieces by some psycho.
I’d buy the DVD though, and piss on it, and then dig the body out of the
grave and fuck its ass.
Employees owe NOTHING - NOT A FUCKING THINK - to employers.
I’ve gotten a few jobs with the INTENT of seeing how much I can get away
with with being CORRECT.
Let me repeat things for you retarded lemmings: I have gotten jobs
with the sole intention of seeing how long I can go without being
fired by DOING THE RIGHT THING at all times.
It goes from 6 to 12 months.
Unless you are willing to be a lil bitch and get fucked in the ass, you
WILL get fired.
There is only one solution, bitches, don’t get raped: become the rapist.
Start a company, and hire fucktards with a family to support and
then fuck them in the ass with unpaid overtime and generally
making them your bitches!!!! They’ll do it, cause they are thinking
OF THE CHILDREN.
Fucking cowards. Stand up for yourselves, fucking douches!
Nobody makes me their bitch.
P.S. - Don’t mistake my anger for being a poor professional.
I AM A FUCKING GOD. My anger derives from having a small
penis - still, I am right about this shit.
