I don't read my email over the weekend
If I need to get the email out of my head, I'll write it and schedule send for Monday morning.
THIS is the only way it should be done. Unless there’s a crisis at hand, there’s really nothing that should need to be sent over the weekend. Period.
I send out emails late nights and weekends but I don’t expect a response. I don’t expect others to be working during the times that are convenient for me
Or do delayed send. I do this a ton.
Should not be your decision as a midlevel AD
Wait for the account team or your boss to reach out to you before you start working. It’s their job to handle that situation appropriately
Nope. Set the boundary. They may be emailing because that's what works for them, but Sunday night is my night. I don't get paid to respond to client emails on the weekends.
For the thousandth time on this App… just because someone emails you on the weekend, does not mean they expect an answer. If it was truly important and urgent, they will let you know and get a hold of you. People work when it’s convenient for them
I never respond to emails on weekends. That’s what Mondays are for.
Even if I read the email, (& I promised myself I’d be better about not reading these right away), i do not reply until Monday. There’s no reason to create bad habits/give people the impression I’m available 24/7. Eventually they expect I will be, is what I’ve learned so I try to resist.

People do this to get a head start on Monday
Honestly, yes, and doing so has paid off for my career in pretty major ways.
Respond Monday during business hours. I try to have pretty hard cutoffs for the weekend and late night when possible to keep my sanity. Most clients are understanding of that, and if they aren’t it might be time for a discussion with your leadership so it can be addressed.

No. It would have to be extraordinary circumstances.
Sometimes I do
Yep. You climb off your partner and get to work.
Nope. They’ll live until Monday. And if i feel like responding Boomerang isn’t sending it until Monday AM
Nope, never (TLDR)
I try not to, however it depends on the project at hand. Sometime it save me the insanity at the beginning of the week!
