Don't use it after hours. You can also ignore slack if it's after 5. (or whatever your expected hours are)

- benburleson 7y agoThat's easy to say. The reality is for most of us, when we're tagged on some issue, our reaction is to at least check it out and assess the priority, etc.
- peruvian 7y agoThen turn notifications off. Depends on your workplace culture, but I receive no work-related notifications or emails after work hours and it's fine.
- paulie_a 7y agoIt's really easy to do too. notifications should be turned off outside of work hours. If it is a major emergency I expect a call. Stuff like this isn't ruining work life balance. They employee is by engaging and allowing the behavior outside of work
- bassman9000 7y agoThis. Uninstalled all my MS work apps (for other reasons, mainly the fact that it gives work admins permission to nuke my entire phone), and now I have a proper cut-off time. Not necessarily 5-6PM, but when I decide it's over, it's over.
- paulie_a 7y agoI don't mind going above and beyond under extreme circumstances. But I'm not letting a company take over my phone. They can provide me one in that case. And I'm still going to pay little attention to it after normal work hours. Extremely important issues don't come up that frequently. So I'll be the judge of whether I need to deal with it now or it can wait and be on the docket first thing in the morning
