We have always had that here. They have to pay you to be on call in Germany.
- We might have that here, but half the people I know work jobs that still expect them to be on call all the time and would get in serious trouble if they turned of their phones during busy periods. So while yes, in theory it’s great, our toxic work culture seems to cancel it out quite well.
  
  I always tell those guys they should quit it or sue the fuck out of those assholes, but no one ever does -.-
