An email isn’t a phone call… If I email you at 4:00 AM it’s because I’m working at 4:00 AM, not because I expect you to be working at 4:00 AM.
Yeah, who cares when someone sends the email. If your boss expects you to start responding to emails at obscene times, that’s another matter.
Exactly. That’s why I don’t enable email notifications on my phone, and I won’t see your 4am email until I roll into the office at 9:15am.
This is true, but when I slack you at 4:00AM…
No… IM is still asynchronous. You and I can have a conversation over time…
Pet peeve: coworkers who don’t understand that Slack, like email, is an asynchronous conversation.
Pet peeve: coworkers that don’t make use of Slack’s in-depth scheduling features to mute messages or requests outside of work hours. I should be able to send you shit at 5am. Whether you’re notified that second or at 9am the following work day is a you problem 🥶
My colleagues having a chat about their favourite tv shows in the operations channel at 7am have entered the chat.
No
@here,@channel, or@$USERNAME, no response.Real pet peeve: people that abuse @here and @channel
People who misuse

SEV0&SEV1incidents or an office fire.
These are straight-up 📠.
I’m literally chatting with a friend in China right now who received a phone call from her boss at 9:30pm for some last minute report she wanted my friend to write for the next day. The friend had previously blocked her number… So she used a different one. Insane shit.
I have a colleague who sends me work messages on Whatsapp when neither of us are at work. I don’t think he has a social life, because he is in many other respects a massive cunt.
lol my meetings start at 6:30AM, 8 is downright bougie
lol
why would you even access work email outside of work hours?
Some people in my office have their work email synced to their phones. They also take home their laptops most weekends to “catch up”, “don’t fall behind”, or “just in case any emergencies”.
They are not in leadership positions and we operate Monday thru Friday. Why???
