if this is the case, it should be in your contract, you should get paid for on-call duty and get a free SIM and/or phone for those notifications, so you can mute or shutdown notifications from your private SIM/phone
Bruh I work in IT (maintaining servers too) and my day ends at 5. You need a union. If you're on call literally all the time you should be getting paid overtime.
Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don't abuse it.
Well yeah, but the problem is typically the people who you don't want you calling you in the middle of night are also the ones willing to call you a few times till you pick up.
Someone with, for instance, older kids who could get themselves into a situation (and only communicate by text) and a parent in a different time zone who's got Alzheimer's and is being cared for by a stressed-out sibling who needs support and agreement from the rest of us by group email.
Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.
I've not read the article yet, but I'm going to assume it's affecting my sleep because I'm reading about how it's affecting my sleep at 04:21 instead of, you know, going to sleep. Just a guess
It's that, plus "notifications can disrupt your sleep."
“A much greater issue [than the blue light] is likely to be the content viewed,” says Peirson. “Reading work emails relating to impending deadlines is clearly going to cause anxiety, and anxiety is strongly related to insomnia.”
Honest question. Which ones? On mobile uBlock Origin/ Firefox and Cromite with easy list etc. don't seem to have a problem with it. Mulch will hit the pay wall, but that doesn't have ad blocking.
I use Block This! on my Android device, which essentially a pseudo-VPN that blackholes ad requests (as well as some trackers and miscellany). Wired bounces me immediately if I have it enabled.
Indeed, that is just an ad blocker. I looked at their github and it hasn't been updated in 7 years.
For good basic ad blocking you might want to try something like https://controld.com/free-dns which works well. No app required, just set it in your DNS on Android.
