Of your boss needs something Close of Business vs. End of Day what does that mean to you.
My company COB means 5 pm and EOD before 12 midnight. If that the normal meaning? |

Outside of a litigation filing deadline, what benefit is it to the recipient to receive something at midnight? |

| I’d say COB is 5 and EOD is around 10. |

Because they need when they start work the next morning. Sure, they could say "by 7am tomorrow" but that would be a bit odd. |

I work with people in different time zones and different sleeping habits. If I send soMething late at night my colleagues in London have it when they start work. My colleague who is an early riser often responds before 6 am. I don’t usually get started until 7:45. |

In reality they all mean, “before I start work tomorrow… go” |

COB means ASAP like now
EOD means by the morning it should be there |

COB = 5pm
EOD = midnight (although as long as it’s in my inbox when I sign in the next morning, I’m not checking the time stamp) |
