That's unrealistic. Managers who are unhappy with workers ignoring emails will find a reason to fire them, not promote them, or give them a smaller bonus.



With that logic you could throw out any labor protection law. Let's keep it constructive.


It sets the rules, workers will have to fight for it to be followed still. But sociopathic management now knows workers have a foot to stand on in court, enterprises will be inclined to make it policy. Less sociopathic management might realise they were being assholes and dial it back a bit. Some managers genuinely don't realise that the current "norm" is not fair, since they are deep in the zeitgeist.

Countless exceptions sure but there's no denying this is a good attempt at change.
