The digital workplace is the result of a conceptual evolution and poses a number of challenges that affect labour law in many ways. Such challenges include teleworking and the home office, but several of these challenges may not seem to be of a (labour) law nature at first sight, such as quiet quitting. In our paper we also discuss sources that interpret the digital workplace in different eras. From these, we draw out the conceptual evolution. It is also necessary to look at these concepts through the lens of labour law, as they can be associated with a number of sanctions of a labour law nature. Accordingly, the paper builds on the dematerialisation of the workplace, which can be particularly problematic in a fiduciary relationship and is linked to intergenerational differences at several levels. A number of different conceptual approaches, an examination of doctrinal issues and the changing attitudes of the hustle culture and the employees who respond to it are presented, analysing the legal and non-legal cross-section of the problems, all from an employment law perspective. However, examining legal issues requires answering a number of preliminary questions without which the legal context would be much more difficult to interpret. Throughout our research, we have examined the context within a holistic framework. This is because of the complexity of the subject and because it is perhaps the best way to see how the regulatory needs of the digital workplace are being translated from the national legislative arena to at least EU level, but also to international levels.
