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)

COB means ASAP like now

EOD means by the morning it should be there

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

At my company they are one and the same.

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 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.

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’d say COB is 5 and EOD is around 10.

I will usually ask if I really need to know. Sometimes we'll use SOB the next day...
