Totally fine. We all work when it works best for our own needs.

Schedule for the mail to be sent at say 8:47am, once you compose it at whatever time works for you.

Unless the purpose is to make the recipient aware of the long hours you’re putting in.

Every time I schedule my email it doesn’t go on through on Outlook desktop. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Not rude. But I like to use schedule send in these situations anyway.

Yeah who cares. They’re still going to open it when they open it.

Why would it be rude? We work in a global environment - you can get emails anytime. Doesn't mean you have to respond immediately.

Sometimes I think about the other person, like they might have kids or other obligations and it’s the only time they send an email. Personally, I wait until a reasonable time to send or auto-time my email using the outlook feature to send the emails.

You can - it’s not a use but I think it may lower the likelihood of response since it may get buried under the morning emails

*not rude

No as long as you make it clear you don't expect a response until the morning. Would be better to wait and send in the morning.

So do terminating employs, but they still do it, right?

Just save it as a draft and send it first thing in the morning. I don’t think it’s a question of being “rude”, or not, rather what’s the point? A vast majority of people wouldn’t even see the email until the next morning anyways, so not sure what sending it between 11PM-1AM achieves.

It’s only rude to expect a response late in the night. You can send it whenever you want.
