Yes, around that time I had a laptop for work and it was an expectation that it would stay in the office at night. At least for one job you had to tell IT if it was leaving the office. But also no one wanted to bring the things home, you logged off at the end of the day and walked away from it.

I have a desktop for work and no work phone, so I leave at the end of the day and they cannot make me do anything until the next morning.

I also live in a mythical land where software engineers have contracted hours and they have to pay me more or give me time off the next pay period if they have me work more than 37.5 hours in a week.

On the other hand, my take home is 40% of what it was in America, and the tech stack is a decade behind.
