In many cities, the line between work and leisure has become harder to see, partly because so much of what we do now happens on a screen. A decade ago, you might have left the office and, unless you were on call, that was that; today, there is always another message, another update, another meeting that could be moved to “just five minutes”. While some employers say they offer flexibility, the truth is that flexibility can cut both ways, and it often falls 1. workers to set their 2. limits. This is especially true for younger staff, who may feel that they must prove themselves, even when no one has actually asked them 3..
