Yes. Especially if you’re involved in international business or work with global teams. Sometimes I’ll receive 100 before I wake up.

If it makes you feel any better I’m not East Coast, so that number for me is more like 50.

I have anywhere from fifty to a hundred new emails each morning at 7:00. I work with teams in Europe and APAC. Used to be even more before Slack. Of these, probably 20-30% require direct action by me, the rest are just for awareness.

I wake up to 30+ new emails everyday. I sign on at 9:30 est. and I usually check email catch up from 8-10p the night before.

Yes

Have about 30 emails before 7:30 and usually a few hundred a day

Yes, and it only gets worse as you move up.

I have over 14k unread emails.

It depends

Yes every day at least 30 overnight. The worst are people who send right before I go to sleep and follow up right when I wake up. It gets steadily worse as you get more senior.
