No business email after 6pm

Companies and labour unions in France have agreed to limit business emails after 6pm to help improve their work-life balance and well-being. Do you think this is a good idea? Is it even possible in your job?

Examples and hints

Sample answer:

In my company, we aren't supposed to send or read emails after work hours. Unfortunately, our work hours are very long, so the time limit is more like 10pm. Some managers don't respect the policy at all, and you can get in trouble for not responding right away. So it can feel like I have to keep my phone next to me all night, just in case. I wish we could be like France this way and make it a real rule that everyone has to follow.
