So, there’s this post on LinkedIn from a person that proclaims to have removed Slack and email from her phone and that no emergency is too great that a message can’t be answered tomorrow. Yeah, but you’re a recruiter. Are there ever recruiter emergencies?

If trapped inside a burning building, most recruiters would draft an email asking the fire to sit tight, and never hit send.

I don’t have either on my phone and I’m fine. Not a recruiter though. I imagine perhaps a salary negotiation down to the wire between two candidates could be emergency-esque. In fairness though, are there ever any true advertising emergencies?

Let’s be honest, if she’s a recruiter she probably wasn’t going to respond to any of those messages anyway.

Disagree. For a busy producer, there are many. I find during pitches and remote editorials there are lots of instances that require real-time feedback outside working hours.

Because often time we have editing houses working on a job who are charging $500 an hour and to have them sitting there waiting on feedback when they’ve been booked is wasteful.

Mmm...I've gone back and forth about having apps like Teams etc on my phone. Sometimes I think no, but I actually like being able to walk around when I'm on cameras off meetings, and it's easier on my phone

Hear you on that. I should add I have a work phone with the apps on it and when I’m not working, that phone is off and tossed into a drawer and I don’t touch it until working hours again. Staunch believer in separating work/personal phones for the sake of my mental health.

I don’t like that companies can remote wipe my phone if I have Outlook or Teams on it. But I also don’t mind being contactable so I can step out during the day. And I learned to mute those pesky notifications after hours. What are they gonna say if I don’t reply something at 8pm? Unless it’s crunch time and I’m notified and on standby, which I don’t mind either.

HAHAH I wish that were the case.
