Fair warning this is a rant. This fking person on our team blows up our slack on the weekends every weekend without fail. For the dumbest sht too, nothing that can’t wait for the work week. Do you have no life or are you that big of a try hard to let everyone know you’re on call on the weekends?? Give it a break. Do I need to say something? Just chill out and live your life. I’m 4 bourbons deep and dreading Monday so this pissed me off 10x that I’m getting his stupid notifications on a Sunday.

Can you mute notifications on the weekend so you don't see them even if he sends them?

Cross your fingers I get one of the jobs from the 4 interviews I have.

Just speak to them about it instead of ranting to strangers on a social app.

I had a coworker at my previous job at a small company work overtime more than everyone else and sent emails out every weekend expecting people to answer and get things done then complain there’s too much work

Do they just post, or do they demand that you work on the weekends? Assuming the former, I would generally consider it like email: They are free to send messages whenever they want, but they should not expect you to reply during the weekend unless you are explicitly part of a weekend shift.

^ This! If they didn’t clarify which one it is, I would just ask. I’ve had managers in the past explicitly say that they send emails / pings on the weekend because the work week feels too busy for them to put thoughts down but they don’t expect me to respond / address. Hopefully that helps! Good luck @OP

I do this because all of the sudden on a weekend day something pops up in my head that will have to be done and I send it to our team slack through my phone so it’s there for Monday. I’ve told my team nothing needs to be responded to on the weekends unless I reach out to them by phone saying it’s unbelievable urgent. I don’t get notifications from others and I didn’t think they did from me
