One thing that is *drastically* different is now due to mobile phones everyone (including employers) expects everyone else to be instantly contactable. You don't have the same "private me time, fuck off world" you used to have before mobile phones. Before, if you're employer expected you to pick up a phone at the drop of a hat you were paid an "on-call" fee to reflect the work you were doing in your private life/time to make sure you were always near a phone and ready to answer it. It used to be Doctors and other professional who did this and were paid for doing it, now some regular dude working in a convenience store is expected to do it...FOR FREE! I will often watch my smartphone ring and not lift it, I'll return a call when I'm good and ready. You're not paying me an on-call fee? I'm not on-call.
