Huh? Never message the boss outside office hours again?

The labor law needs to be adjusted because that calling and messaging after work should be prohibited. If it were up to MP Gijs van Dijk of the PvdA, this is the future. One after another burns out, and this is the solution.

Now I'll give you a little insight into the group chats of Amayzine. It's an occasional thing because there are things going around that even make men blush, so we like to keep that censored. But we message twenty-four-seven. If I don't have a little news round-up from our Daan in the app in the morning, I get out of sorts. It's a fixed routine to chat with May about the weekend. And our shopping app actually never stops. Around eleven in the evening, I silence them with airplane mode and in the morning, when I have my coffee, they turn back on.

A million people are at risk of burnout each year. That's no small matter. That's why the PvdA member wants people to have the right to ignore the boss in their free time. Close the email, let the phone ring, and ignore that group chat. But is that contact really so bad? Professor of work psychology Toon Taris (funny name) explains Now.nl how it is. According to him, you really won't get a burnout from a message on Saturday, but it can interrupt your recovery time. You need that to do your work a bit fresh and fruity.

I, not a professor by the way, think the choice is up to you. Plenty of jobs where you don't have to log in outside of working hours. To put it bluntly: when the store is closed, the store is closed. Nothing that can't wait until the next morning. But if you want a bit of responsibility, to climb that ladder, and trust from the big boss, then occasionally receiving a message or call is actually already a bit in your job description.

No messages or calls from the boss and associates; I would find that quite unpleasant. How would I keep up with the news? Who would I call in the car when I'm stuck in traffic? Who would then have to approve and praise my latest purchase? Nah, give me some excitement. I'll fit that recovery time in between. May, we message.
