You read my mind with that last sentence. As I read your anecdote, I was marveling at how much relief she probably created by circumventing the email/slack/txt/messenger treadmill the rest of us are forced to run on during a workday.
- Ascetik 8y ago>the email/slack/txt/messenger treadmill the rest of us are forced to run on during a workday. Or at all hours of the evening, night and early morning, since some people we work with don't seem to understand the concept of leaving work at work.
- krageon 8y agoYou can enforce such rules on your own, by slowly trimming down after-hours "work" (since it is unpaid, it's not work to me). You can compensate this with very good time management and always being on time/reading up on meeting agendas. Nobody will openly criticize you for such a practice since everyone sees you as together and competent. Eventually they get used to this status quo and nobody will even question it anymore in your case. It might take you a few years, but it pays off in the end I think.

- jayd16 8y agoI think having an assistant would be a relief even if I read my own email.
