Exactly. The key here is that the expectations did not change. The private sector still expected the work to be done in the time allocated. With people having the ability to work remotely, it becomes even more difficult to stop yourself from working. You need a combination of both, the employee being able to stand up and demand the employer to scale down expectations and the state to step in and protect the employee from the employer retaliating and firing this individual.
