You may not expect a reply but there are a great many people who would feel pressure to reply to a senior staff member outside of work hours.

- sneak 5y agoThe things we do are within our control; the ways others respond are not. If someone wishes to volunteer to work 24/7, it isn't my job to stop them. It's insane of them, though, and I might contemplate firing someone who felt pressured to act/respond at 2am (for being dumb and unreasonable).

- odshoifsdhfs 5y agoGood thing we have laws to prevent this then. Same with minimum wage, minimum wage, work place safety and so on. Just because you think there is no pressure to reply, doesn't mean there isn't a societal/workplace culture that pushes people to do so when their superiors ask for something. Same reason you can tell a co-work something is dumb, but you would say 'lets look it from another angle' to a manager or ceo.
