Work emails at night. Messages from your boss after dinner. The pressure to be “always on” has become the norm, blurring the line between work and life, and pushing more people toward burnout.
In this episode of Europe Talks Back, Evi Kiorri examines how digital tools, remote work, and workplace expectations are taking a toll on us and whether the growing push for a legal right to disconnect can support turn things around.
We spoke to Professor Claudia Pagliari, an expert in digital health and tech ethics at the University of Edinburgh, to understand how constant connectivity affects our minds, our health, and our relationships and what really necessarys to alter: the law, the culture, or both.
Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.
