Management should discuss with their exempt employees how their expectations of work relate to time spent at work. Management can also ask employee to inform them if they will not be at work during some hours of a typical work day. It is necessary, so that others who need to coordinate with that employee can be informed of the change in work schedule for the day.
I totally agree, it’s all about expectations, but also communication. From the start as an employer, you should clearly define what your expectations are and what are you giving back. If an exempt employee is doing his required work till the end of the day I don’t see the necessity to pay attention on his mail address or telephone after work.
It can exist exceptional circumstances when you should keep an eye on you mails end phone, but this situations shouldn’t be daily. In this situations should be an agreement between employer and employee. I’m not mean a written agreement or something like this, it can be simply a discussion , an mutual respect agreement.
I believe in communication and what it can do. I think that CEO didn’t know exactly what an exempt employee means and he didn’t know that besides work people have personal life too. I’m sorry if I’m harsh, but I don’t like when people don’t know what respect and rights are.

That is true. They are the group that it is socially acceptable to make fun of. Of course, the Swiss would say that is a good thing…

This is one of my favorite making fun of Germans videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Tqq04bv1E

It’s if Mary Poppins had been German.

Just one, they hold the bulb, and the world revolves around them.

Do you know what the best part of living in Switzerland is?

Well, I’m not sure, but the flag is a big plus!
