How about you just manage your own emotions about your inbox, and let me work when my kids are finally asleep without having to micromanage your feelings about my "sent" time.
Just don't check your damn email if you are taking a break from work.
Not sending anything to juniors late, not anyone's boss, just trying to work and really think it shouldnt matter when I send something.
I know about schedule send, I just don't see the point. Like, if my coworkers (who are also slammed and also working odd hours) happen to reply to a late night email the same night, cool, I can move forward! If not, no problem!
My work hours are not your work hours, and that’s okay. I send emails late because of kids but with no expectation that you will respond or read until you are ready. Turn off notifications and check in when it works for you. I think we need to change the culture of a 9-5 workday.
I think this is fine as long as you are VERY CLEAR about your expectations as not everyone is like you. I had an account director that would send me non urgent emails on sundays, CC her boss, and then just do my job herself if I didn’t respond bc j went to the movies or on a hike. Then her work would be bad so id just end up redoing it all on Monday anyway. As you can tell, I have not recovered and no longer send emails on the weekend.
Yeah, but how else will the team know I’ve been working till 11pm on insane deadlines for over a month? I will stop sending late emails when timelines become more reasonable (also a horrible covid work life balance consequence).
Wouldnt assume otherwise unless I was doing that person’s work for them and they gave up on a project at 6pm the night before a presentation
Agree. And don’t send me 70 texts while I’m supposedly on PTO. Build your post production schedule to avoid approval meetings during the week when the frigging office is closed for the holidays.
turn off your notifications, and don't check email after 630 or before 930 unless you expect an emergency
That is a fix for just me. But I think if we can each do our part to fix the culture of working from home by making this change, it will help everyone

Good reminder.
Good looks
I get paid about 300k a year.* You can email me after 630p. It’s okay. That’s what the money is for.
I might not respond until tomorrow because I’m busy living the life that money pays for.
*adjust this for your own inflated salaries as we benefit in the late capitalist society with our cushy desk jobs while people risk their lives for $15/hr.
Godiggity dammmmn~ if u payin me $300K a year, u can break into my house every night n have dinner for all i care
Yes! I’ve started schedule sending anything past 7.
