This is a topic of discussion since a long time except until people realised giving family time is not bad/ unprofessional. The 0-5 yoe genZ wouldn’t get it or is not expected to know this.

One girl in my team was in night shift and the US client wasn't aware about this. He saw her slack and asked her why she is logged in this late and told her to log out. I guess there is no concept of night shift in US

I dont agree fully. Start ups generally jave bad wlb. Thats because they pay abnormal salaries. Starts up with decent WLB are anomalies. Big companies generally have decent WlB but can be bad based on the manager one gets.

Wlb depends on the company and team culture not
country. People working in the US can also have shit wlb maybe only Europe has some laws around it afaik.
