Yes. Or rather, what happens at work is so interesting that it usually beats refreshing reddit for the 5th time in 10min while in the train.

- iagooar 10y agoWhy not start a little side-project? Try new things? Or maybe find a hobby that is going to fill those boring hours with joy?
- jasode 10y agoYou write: "fill those _boring_ hours" ... in response to what the poster actually wrote: "work is _so interesting_" If you're rewriting what the poster wrote into words of opposite meaning, it doesn't seem like you're engaging in real discussion.
- iagooar 10y agoWhat are you even talking about?
- jasode 10y ago"interesting" != "boring" When the poster writes a response, one can either honestly try to understand his position, and then ask followup questions that are relevant to what he actually wrote. It seems like you didn't do that. Instead, you distorted his choice to read work email as "boring" and therefore, your followup questions (side projects? hobby?) had the tone of "lecturing" about his habit. In reading all of your replies to everyone, the gap in your worldview is that some non-managers like their work such that reading email outside of office hours is a natural response. However, that doesn't mean everyone should do it. For workers that feel strongly that reading email after-hours is wrong, telling others not to do so isn't going to work. If some people have different viewpoint about after-hours email, are you interested in thoughtful discussion about it? Or do you prefer to lecture people regardless of what they say?
- delroth 10y agoI can't really start or contribute to a little side-project when I'm standing in a tram, sitting in a train for 15min, or waiting at the gate / before liftoff during a flight. I can read my company email from my phone during that time.
