If you want to work on the weekend - and occasionally I find myself doing so as a staff level IC consultant who does need to spend an inordinate amount of time mentoring, project management, suppprting sales, interviewing candidates, babysitting clients, etc… - don’t send messages on Slack or email outside of business hours. I schedule messages to go out Monday morning and I never mention I worked on the weekend.

I don’t want to set the expectation that people should work outside of business hours or that I’m willing to.



I kill slack app on weekends , that is largely to save battery on the laptop working out of coffee shops, but serves the same purpose :)
