DGC 1, this is the jerk move I’m talking about. You think you’re doing someone a favor, but they’re going to see their work email pop up on their phone and have to spend time reading it and thinking about it.
It’s by no means a jerk move. What if someone is already working Thanksgiving and would prefer just to knock it out that day instead of also torching Friday? Who am I to make that decision for them?
For the recipient that isn’t working - if he/she/they doesn’t have enough self control and boundary setting to see an email that says “no need to respond until [date]” and then let it go, they would likely benefit from some counseling.
Or just put in subject line/body “(No response needed until 11/27)” and let the recipient decide when they want to handle. Recipients need to exercise self control too.
