Sounds too good to be true and it is

New York Councilman Proposes Bill That Would Grant NYC Workers 'Right To Disconnect'

"(...) advocating for the rights of employees to stop answering work-related emails and other digital messages, like texts, after official work hours. (...) got the idea from France, where a bill passed early last year by the Ministry of Labor requires companies of over 50 employees to define out-of-office email rules. (...) And the New York version of the "Right to Disconnect" bill includes exemptions for jobs that require 24-hour on-call periods."

That isn't a law yet?

To make it a law is fine but I feel people need to be fed some common sense that the devs are also humans and they also need off time. Like wtf do people think they achieve but contacting a dev to fix a fucking bug or add a feature when he's on vacation and taking a break!

Hah bitch please. No one needs a law for that. We're all human beings that make their own decisions. If I decide to fucking not work after work, I don't fucking work. Simple as that. It's not part of the contract? Well good luck firing me for that.
I would not give a single damn about any fucking contract if I decide to. Who says I can't leave the god damn country tomorrow? Just like that, without telling anyone? Right. No fucking human on this planet gets to decide that.
That fucking Bill gives you the "RIGHT" to go offline AFTER work. It's nonsense. You already have that right. Putting it in a bill will not change a damn thing if you decide to put your head up your bosses ass.

@Kimmax this.
