That is, from your work place.

A new French law establishing workers’ “right to disconnect” goes into effect today. The law requires companies with more than 50 employees to establish hours when staff should not send or answer emails. The goals of the law include making sure employees are fairly paid for work, and preventing burnout by protecting private time.

Let's see. I'd say that's real popular.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

On one hand it gets crazy, I see all kinds of time stamps on emails late Sunday nights, etc. OTOH, if you have a job that requires that kind of on-call you are either high up or/and get the flexibility back during the day. The President is a fink.

Suppose instead of emailing you something, your boss called you. Is that within the rules? I, personally, don't so much dread email, or text messages, as much as calls.
