To Quit or Not to Quit? Why the Job Market Is Forcing Workers to Wait

Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋

A Reddit post is going viral after a Dutch employee was almost written up by their American manager for logging off at 5 p.m. and not replying to an email sent on Saturday morning until… Monday morning. 🙄 In case we needed a reminder of why right-to-disconnect laws matter: they protect workers from being expected to respond to work messages outside paid hours (Australia, France, Portugal, and Ontario, Canada—among others—have figured it out already). Your move, America.

Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack:

• Keke Palmer gets real about how “uncomfortable” being ambitious can be at times.

• Repeat after us: “I am not behind, I am evolving.”

• Introducing: the multitasking MVP of your makeup bag.*
