Why you can, and should, ignore that 9pm email from your boss

Why you can, and should, ignore that 9pm email from your boss

CNN
Friday, April 5, 2024 10:20 AM GMT

Back in 2017, when France rolled it out the world’s first “right to disconnect” law — making it illegal for the boss to email workers after hours — Americans responded the way we always do when the French do something cool: Shake our heads at how soft they are while secretly wishing we could do the same thing.
