I believe that "there is a clear boundary between my career and my non-work roles" was literally the prompt text, where folks rated it on a scale from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree".
At Google's scale, individuals have different preferences for all of these things. Some people don't want to read email after they leave the office at 5pm. Other people leave at 3pm to pick up kids, but sign back on from 7pm to 11pm to address stuff. Others will work whatever hours M-F but won't respond to emails on the weekend. Someone else works with a team across an ocean, and so they check email Sunday through Thursdays or Tuesday through Saturday. It's not one size fits all; it's about creating a work environment where folks feel comfortable talking about enabling flexibility without creating expectations of being always-on.
