I realized that may have been a poorly made point on my part. If you are on call you’re on call. But a lot of “emergencies” in non-operational contexts can wait

I realized that may have been a poorly made point on my part. If you are on call you’re on call. But a lot of “emergencies” in non-operational contexts can wait till the next day in my experience, and often do due to societal norms - everyone is home doing other stuff in the evening, we’ll reconvene first thing in the AM when everyone is together and fresh.
- Clubber 5y agoI can definitely see it when someone works later than usual (me) and is in the middle of something and has a question for someone who usually works at normal time or earlier than everyone else. When I'm in that situation, I don't expect a response immediately. I know I'm a night owl and other people aren't. I'm sure other people do. At the same token, when I work late and the early people schedule an 8am meeting, it's the same. Having said all that, the only difference for me in this scenario is whether or not I commute to the office every day. Same, same.
