👀How late in the evening are you willing to respond to emails and Teams messages from your boss?

As soon as you sign out of whatever timekeeping software you're off the clock, sign out of teams, turn off your computer, don't answer your phone unless you're accounting and getting compensated for your time.

Let me clarify by saying that if the expectations that your duty shift ends at 3 PM for example, all communications cease at 3 PM until you report back for the next assigned day/shift.

If I’m working a bit later one day, I will respond after 5PM. But once I close the computer I am not responding until whenever the next business day begins.

This depends on role and responsibility level.

Only if I'm on the clock. Unless it's a SEV1 (rare), messaging me, calling me, texting me, email, sending a pigeon... they get only static.

My supervisor has trouble sleeping sometimes, so he'll send emails at all hours. I know he doesn't expect me to see or respond until the morning.

like

Email is asynchronous. Its different than texting or calling. If it is after work hours, the assumption is that you will see it the next morning.

like

sometime I opened my email at 12am to respond in the past. So, it depends on the urgent of the email or work.

like

I’m paid till 5, no one would expect a response after that time. if I’m working overtime I would likely respond, but thats a bonus and not expected.
I don’t currently do any out of hours coverage, so I’m not expected to provide it, neither should anyone be!

It's not really any of my business what time other people send emails. I read them during my work hours. I would answer a phone call from my boss at any time, because that's the international recognized symbol of an emergency, I would answer.

like

I'll respond as long as I'm awake. I'm so anxious about losing my job I'll do just about anything to stay on my boss's good side. I hate having zero boundaries with work, but I do not want to have to test my luck in this job market if i can avoid it.

I’m always by my phone at all times if you call, I will ask her no matter what time of night or day it is

I work between 9am and 5pm. At 4.50pm it’s winding down time. Emails and Teams messages will be responded to after 9am the following morning, or Monday morning if it’s now Friday evening. That’s it, in at 9 out at 5 and no working at my desk during my lunch break.

I have a do-not-disturb setting from 12 am to 7 am. I average 51 hours a week, so my downtime is important.

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.

My partner got a City of Toronto offer. Salary band is 104-121k. HR asked for his expectations and he said 115k. HR came back with a 106k offer stating nobody on the team makes that much so they cant offer it. Also said she is unsure if there is any wiggle room if any at all. I’ve looked at everyone on the team with the same titles salary on the sunshine list and the lowest I see is 121k. I assume there is an OT component of some sort but also can’t confirm. Thoughts? /negotiating advice?
