It’s 2025, it’s not my job to make sure your email is not arriving during dinner time. E-mail. It’s not a phone call. It’s not even a text. It’s the most non urgent communication imaginable. People work all hours now, for flexibility not necessarily urgency or long hours. [/quote]

This. It's on you OP. I'm not fiddling with each email or Teams message to delay receipt when I have coworkers in just about every time zone (British Columbia to Australia).

I don't get alerts on personal devices. My personal routine is that I only see work things when I open my work laptop. [/quote]

Op here. Not sure why people are getting so angry. My HR dept has specifically instructed people NOT to send comms during off hours ‘unless it’s urgent’ so an email during off hours is implicitly urgent (except these often aren’t, or it’s unclear if they are, which is even more annoying).

It takes an extra five seconds to delay delivery when one sends an email. Arguably it’s on them to do it, if they’re breaking the email rule. [/quote]
