The French Socialist Party, run by President Francois Hollande, has proposed a governmentally implemented ban on work emails outside of normal work hours. A vote will occur on the measure that according to Hollande, will preserve employee’s rights to disconnect.

It’s true that work related stress is becoming more and more common as work seems to seep through into our every day lives, making it essentially impossible to have a true moment of relaxation without the nagging voice of work in the back of our minds.

There’s a certain professional obligation to respond to emails as soon as they are received, despite whatever is happening in that moment. This makes vacations, days off and holidays pretty gruelling. Try and think back to the last proper day you had off, without contact from work and without worries.
Emails essentially transform every room in a home to a workplace, since you can receive and have to answer an email at any point. Many people reflect that this is incredibly detrimental to relationship health and overall mental health.
