#330 - Pseudo Productivity and the Right to Disconnect

We discuss Australia's 'Right to Disconnect' law, which aims to protect employees from having to engage in work-related communications outside of work hours, and the implications for both workers and companies. We get into the challenges and inefficiencies of modern work environments, including constant connectivity, the impact of email, and how technology has both helped and worsened work-life balance. We conclude with reflections on potential solutions for managing workloads and maintaining boundaries in the digital age.Episode Links:Australia Introduces Workers’ ‘Right to Disconnect’ (New York Times)-----Thank you for listening to Archispeak.
