Manager: Please share the timelines for feature X

Me: *swiping away the Teams notification* Please get a life and stop texting your engineers at 9 PM

Hero Culture is nonsense. It just chews up and spits out good people.

IM is not texting, you're not supposed to read when you're not available.

It would we cool if you could set a timer on your messages but it too would be abused, I'm sure. At least it's easy to set quiet period for notifications.

@electrineer

We have employees in all timezones, and holidays also differ per country.

Company chat has a "99.97% uptime".

My personal SLA is different though. My Slack subscript reads: "I try to answer messages within 1 business day".

To mute the buzz, there are so many options:

Install work apps on second phone. Install work apps only on workstation/laptop, and keep your phone private. Turn off all your notifications during off-hours.

Or more radical: Turn your phone completely off when you don't want to be bothered!

Airplane mode, every night.

(so the alarm still works)

@bahua Ah yeah I created a child for this purpose. Took a while, but she's perfectly tweaked to go off at 8AM now.
