Over 90% of Americans support "right-to-disconnect" law
A recent survey shows that 90.4% of American workers support a "right-to-disconnect" law. This law would protect employees from work emails outside of office hours, addressing concerns about email overload and stress. Workers receive an average of 32 emails daily, with only 41.7% considered relevant. Many feel pressured to respond quickly, leading to anxiety and burnout, with 80.8% reporting stress from work emails. The survey highlights that constant connectivity affects mental health, with two-thirds losing sleep over emails. Similar laws exist in France and Australia, but many believe their employers would resist such changes.
