The risks of opening Pandora's (In) Box

When you go on holiday is it time to turn off and put away your laptop and phone so that you can't read work e-mails? Even then are you tempted to just take a small peek, so you know what is going on, and avoid being faced with 100's of them when you return? But, have you done this and then regretted it, after seeing a huge problem that ruins your whole holiday? Remember Pandora?

Collins English Dictionary "If someone or something opens Pandora's box or opens a Pandora's box, they do something that causes a lot of problems to appear that did not exist or were not known about before."

But banning staff from accessing their work emails outside office hours could do more harm than good to employee wellbeing, a study suggests. University of Sussex researchers found while a ban could help some staff switch off, it could also stop people achieving work goals, causing stress.

Tell me what you think? I'm about to go on holiday and I have a very caring employer strongly encouraging me to not look at e-mails and just relax. But what has been your experience of Pandora's e-mail in-box?
