Tell us how work emails have been affecting your life

Trade union Prospect is calling for the government to grant employees a legally binding “right to disconnect” that would ban bosses from “routinely emailing or calling” outside of set working hours. This comes after a similar labour law took effect in France in 2017.

With work-life boundaries having been tested by the pandemic, we would like to hear from you about how work emails have affected your life.

Share your experiences
