[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the panic over receiving an email in off hours. It’s inherently asynchronous communication. You’re expected to respond when you’re available. [/quote] The issue is that different workplaces, and even different employees, have different unwritten rules on when an email should be responded to. So it helps to clarify expectations. For myself, if I'm sending an email at a time outside the recipient's work hours, I'll add a parenthetical statement at the top along the lines of "I know I'm sending this on a weekend, but I don't expect you to see or respond to this email until your next business day." If someone still gets upset about me sending them an email outside normal hours, that's on them.[/quote] Why don’t you just delay delivery? [/quote]
