Liked on YouTube: New Album! (and why I’m no longer signed to a label)

Hey there! Wanted to let you know that I’ll have an album coming out REALLY soon and that you can support it (and get it before everybody else) here: http://www.patreon.com/natalydawn

The album is called “Haze” and it will be released Fall of 2016!

ALSO, I a couple months ago I married my Pomplamoose-bandmate, Jack Conte, who happens to be the CEO of Patreon. I feel like I have to disclose that now (because we’re married) which is kind of silly, but there you have it! For the record I am not funding my album on Patreon because Jack is my husband. I’m funding my album on Patreon because it works, and it’s how I’ve been making a living as an artist for the last several years. AND NOW YOU KNOW ALL OF THE TRUTH!

New French law makes it illegal to email employees after work hours

Nothing can ruin a relaxing weekend or holiday like an email from the office. Even if there’s no need to take action until Monday, the unwanted intrusion of professional life can really suck the joy out of a Sunday afternoon bar-b-que. That’s why the country that’s famous for giving its employees 30 days off a year and 16 weeks of full-paid family leave, just made itself even cooler with its new “right to disconnect” law.



Now, in France, if you’re a company of 50 employees or more, you cannot email an employee after typical work hours. The amendment has come about because studies show that in the digital age it’s become increasingly difficult for people to distance themselves from the workplace during their off hours. This new law allows people to get the full advantage of their time off.


“All the studies show there is far more work-related stress today than there used to be, and that the stress is constant,” Benoit Hamon of the French National Assembly told the BBC. “Employees physically leave the office, but they do not leave their work. They remain attached by a kind of electronic leash— like a dog. The texts, the messages, the emails — they colonize the life of the individual to the point where he or she eventually breaks down.”


The new law stipulates that companies negotiate policies that limit the spillover of work into their employees’ private lives. Although there are no penalties for companies that violate the amendment, companies are to establish “charters of good conduct” that specify the times which employees are free from being digitally connected to their workplaces. This right to disconnect amendment was passed as part of a controversial French labor law that some say will weaken unions and enhance employee job insecurity. The digital disconnect amendment was the one part of the law that’s been viewed favorably by the French public.
