> With full remote, the physical boundaries between work and home disappear. It no longer feels safe to tell someone you'll follow up on something when you're back in the office tomorrow morning, because now technically you're always in your office.
I've been working remote for many years; started out part time remote in 2010 and been full time since about 2016 (across 5 different companies since). What you're saying has never been true for me.
I average 40 hours a week. If I go over 8 hours one day, I'll do less hours the next. I have no problem telling my manager or anyone else that I'll follow up tomorrow. I don't give them excuses, I just simply state "I'm signing off, I'll follow up in the morning" once that clock hits my 8 hour mark.
You (the royal "you") are in control of your own destiny when it comes to setting these boundaries. If your company is truly forcing you to do this, it's time to look elsewhere. Don't blame it on remote work. This is not a remote problem, this is a problem between you and your company.
