Calls - understandable. But what's the problem with emailing? Open it at 8:01

check your mail on your work laptop ONLY and ONLY during work-hours

dont connect your private devices with work-related stuff, if you do for whatever reason, hide notifications from the app

and of course, dont touch your work laptop, when youre not being paid to do so

I work eight hours ahead of all my co-workers. Sometimes I have the energy to schedule every send, sometimes I just fire that shit off.

Eh, they can send whatever the hell they want whenever the hell they want, I won't be seeing it until I am ready

I'm fine with early emails because I send out late emails. Luckily I'm at a company where most people understand that there are some people who work weird hours and that it's ok.

I don't care what time emails come in. I work for a Japanese company, so I get emails at pretty much any hour. My work hours and current local time are posted on my domain profile, if whoever is sending an email has an issue with my response time, they can take it up with my direct manager who will go to bat for me (he's proven this more than a few times, I trust him).

Now if it was a Teams DM or text message directly to me well after work hours, that's a whole 'nother conversation.

How do you know of you haven't logged in yet?

I think renaming them is an appropriate punishment. "Bob from Accounting" is now "Smeagol".
