If the sender asks why you didn't respond, explain politely that you didn't see any notification until work started.
Come review time you will be dinged for not being a "team player".
Meanwhile the employee that does quickly respond to these messages will get ahead and eventually become your boss.
TBH if something is important enough, I have no problem with responding to it "After work hours", whether it's on the weekend or after work. In the same way, I have no problem taking a long lunch or sleeping in because I know it's a push/pull relationship with work. This is of course much easier to do when you're permanently remote so YMMV
- baby 5y agoIf these impact your performance then you work in a shitty place and there’s little you can do about it. Just don’t aim for a promotion or change job.
- pixl97 5y agoStuff like this impacts people at almost every job I've seen (and I've been contracted out a lot of different places and watched what employees do). It turns out that it is typical for these behaviors to occur in workplaces, hence laws to prevent it.
