Friday is “You Gotta Read This” day. Arnie and Susan choose articles you should read, but probably missed. They get permission from the publishers to read and comment on them. Take a listen! First, “What the French E-mail Meme Reveals About America s Runaway Culture of Work” by The Nation’s Michelle Chen. Last week, a dazzling meme captured the viral hive-mind of an overstressed generation: French workers had adopted a new labor policy to ban work-related e-mail after 6 pm. The rule would supposedly force managers of workers in tech and consulting jobs to stop sending e-mails and other business communications outside of designated work schedules. http://www.thenation.com/blog/179323/what-french-e-mail-meme-reveals-about-americas-runaway-culture-work# Next, Arnie and Susan read “10 places to visit before they re gone: A bucket list for a warming world,” by Jim Meyer. Summer is just around the corner and, after a winter like this one, it s high time to start making those vacation plans. Of course, our buoyant spirits were somewhat dampened by the latest U.N. climate report. Spoiler alert, it wasn t real good. http://grist.org/climate-energy/10-places-to-visit-before-theyre-gone/
