What a nightmare! And completely unnecessary. It's as if companies aren't able to trust workers to do their job unless they are constantly in their faces.

Companies have no idea the loyalty they would get if they made respecting workers' time a priority.

Omg - this hit home so much. I left retail 9 years ago. While my peers and dm didn’t have a group chat (thank Goodness), I was consistently bombarded each morning on my days off with the 8am “How’s the store?” text from my DM.

I now have a job where we have desk computers - not laptops. We are not expected to read email or respond to emails during non work hours. Such a breath of fresh air!!

There are no texts from my supervisor unless it is an emergency that needs urgent attention - which is very rare.

Turnover in supervisory positions is very low at my current company - could it be because the line between work and home is very respected?
