A recent Emailtooltester survey indicates that a staggering 90.4% of American employees back a proposed 'right-to-disconnect' law, which would permit them to ignore work emails outside office hours without repercussions. The survey highlights the overwhelming volume of emails workers face, averaging 32 per day, of which only 41.7% are relevant. This pressure leads to anxiety, with many feeling they must respond to emails quickly, even when on vacation. With more than two-thirds of workers losing sleep over emails, the mental health effects are clear, often resulting in strained personal relationships due to burnout.
