FRANCE JUST BANNED WORK EMAILS AFTER 6 P.M.

"Now employers' federations and unions have signed a new, legally binding labour agreement that will require staff to switch off their phones after 6pm. Under the deal, which affects a million employees in the technology and consultancy sectors (including the French arms of Google, Facebook, Deloitte and PwC), employees will also have to resist the temptation to look at work-related material on their computers or smartphones --or any other kind of malevolent intrusion into the time they have been nationally mandated to spend on whatever the French call la dolce vita."
