Our corporate policy is that any company communication received outside normal working hours can safely be ignored until the next working day. I encourage employees to turn off their email and phones outside of work. I do require a personal contact information in case of genuine emergencies but this is rarely (if ever) used. Regular downtime is important for mental health. The way I view it, if an employer needs to contact people outside of work hours, it’s a failure of management and proper planning.

Nonetheless, this is an extraordinarily stupid bill. If passed, I hope the exodus of companies drives the California economy into the ground.
