[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have an unpaid lunch break in there or something?

I've been working for 18 years and have never had a lunch break so it's never been on my radar and I could accidentally be that boss I guess.

I also send emails at weird times. As a working single mom, if I can't sleep at 3am I might as well play catch up. However, I do literally have my email signature saying "Wellbeing Notice: Receiving this email outside of normal working hours? Managing work and life responsibilities is unique for everyone. I have sent this email at a time that works for me. Please respond at a time that works for you."[/quote]

Good grief - it's almost 2026 -- haven't you figured out how to schedule delivery of an email for the following morning?

The con of delaying delivery is that if other people’s emails on the same topic come in in the interim, your email could look like a confusing non-sequitur or be OBE. People may wonder whether you or not you though the other info was relevant[/quote]

Well yes, that's obvious - scheduling is not going to be a universal solution or applicable in every instance but in many(most?) cases it is - so use it when it is.

In the cases where many folks are on the to/cc offering input on a time sensitive matter, don't use scheduling and drop the wellbing verbiage since it would seem to be no longer relevant.  Pretty simple.
