[quote=Anonymous]Both this thread and the other one are truly nuts.  The problem isn't email (which is, by its nature, asynchronous).  The problem is that some employees seem to think that email demands an immediate response.  Sometimes it does, but, if someone needs me to response at an odd time, I would expect a phone call as well.  If people are sending email at odd times, are not calling, and are demanding immediate responses, then expectations are likely misplaced somewhere.

I send email messages when it is convenient for me to do so.  That is one of the great advantages of the medium.  There is no reason why anyone should have a problem with this.      The idea of artificially delaying the sending of a message is even crazier, since it does not afford the recipient a chance to read the message if he should choose to check his mail at an odd time.

The whole thing is just insane.  If employees have issues with work and time-management expectations, then they need to address those with their employers.[/quote]
