Weekend Work Emails Are Now Illegal In France

[Duque de Bragança]

France also votes laws that are not always enforced. I am skeptical for this email law regarding executives.

This seems over the top. I used to get plenty of work emails in the weekend, I just ignored them and they stopped coming.

Having a work-only email helps, too.

I find having separate work and private phones solves most of this problem.
Email notifications are switched off and colleagues rarely call in the evening, and if they do it's for good reasons.
On weekends and holidays the work phone is switched off completely.

Careful, Garbon will accuse you of being a socialist.

I would never use such a vulgar term.

I'd rather deal with it over the weekend than have it waiting for me Monday morning.  And if it can wait for Monday I'll ignore it.

It sounds crazy but the French workplace is vastly different from the American way of doing business.

From what the Frenchmen working here tells me, it is a fiercely unsociable place. Full of Hatred.

Would it stop clients from calling me at 6:00am?

Finally some progress in the world.

Yeah, I love how it'll make it more difficult to get stuff from my French team.

It'll have to wait til business hours. Is Monday really that bad to wait until? Will the Earth explode because of "your" french team?

C'est déjà bien qu'on te réponde en anglais, connasse.

France is weird. I suppose people who have jobs that don't actually matter don't want e-mails from their bosses, and those might well be in the majority in France, but still...

I didn't know swedes or wherever the fuck you're from work 7 days a week.

Yes, because I'll have to be the one to do it.

Also, not really sure what is the point of writing something rude in another language. I mean sure you got me to use google translate but not sure the goal of such opaque communication.

Ooh!  Ooh!  Do me next!!!

Le but est de vous insulter, monsieur l'anglois. Le but est qu'il n'y en a pas, un peu beaucoup comme la plupart de vos écrits sur ce forum, monsieur.

[garbon]

Sorry but my google translate quota has been reached for the day.

Non. J'ai atteint mon quota quotidien d'incartades à l'adresse de quakers quadragénaires.

[garbon]

Sorry, I don't have the words in French to tell you about how I'm not using google translate. If only you could read English and understand that.
