Thereβs been this news article on the BBC today about calls to ban bosses sending emails outside of work hours. Whats your view on this?
To me, the solution is simple... just donβt check your work emails outside of work hours.
Donβt put work emails on your personal devices and donβt go on your work devices outside of work hours. If you have to use a personal device to access email, then log out when you finish work and donβt log in until youβre back at work. It really is that simple in my opinion.
The article mentions the βpressureβ of having to check emails, or the concept of work taking over with things such as logging on before breakfast. But surely if your boss hasnβt asked you to work those hours, youβre just putting the pressure on yourself? And if your boss has asked you to work those hours, youβll have agreed to it as part of employment terms?
The way I think of it is: What if your boss works different hours to you? Or is out of the country so emailing at their standard business hours? Or what if theyβre out of office for a few days and need to get a few things over before theyβre away? There are so many valid reasons for sending an email at any time. But it doesnβt mean that you need to keep checking to see if anyone emailed you outside of work hours.
Iβve been office based for 10 years now. I get emails all sorts of hours from both my management, my colleagues and clients. Clients arenβt just U.K. based, so emails come at anytime. But they can wait... I just donβt check. Even non-U.K. clients get U.K. office hour replies. Anyone expecting otherwise will be met with response containing my working hours.
If I donβt check, I donβt know theyβre there until I next log in for work. No pressure.
Of course, thatβs my experience and my opinion. Iβm genuinely interested in hearing others opinions and experiences on this.
Like for example today, I missed 3 calls from what I can reasonably assume to be recruiters (i've been applying for jobs), but I didnt have my phone on me at the time.
Like even just sending an email to arrange a time for a call would be better.
Backstory, some of our field agents in my company were taken off the road on full pay during covid but expected to be available for retraining etc in anticipation of a return to work.
At the beginning of last month I started scheduling training for agents to return to the field.
Pre covid, these agents worked a 11 to 7 shift and I usually worked business hours. There at times I'd be around from 7am or doing something at 9 in the evening though and generally would respond to an email if I felt it warranted one at that time. During covid and retraining, agents were asked to be available during business hours instead for these trainings and not their usual shift. Everyone seemed happy enough to do this upon request.
One agent who can be a serial complainer at the best of times, started whining that he was getting emails "outside of his work times" I.e. 9 or 10am instead of 11am. Now, I usually send invites to training etc or handouts whenever I get a free second which could be 8am or 8pm, depending on if I'm tied up in training sessions or meetings. No agent is obligated to check and/or respond to anything outside of their work hours however. Its more so it's in their inbox when they log on.
A teams invite went out about 9am for a training exercise two days later as I wanted to keep scheduling ahead of myself and give the guys as much notice as I could. Serial complainer went to HR and said he has a "right to disconnect" HR explained that he was under no obligation to read or reply to any of these emails as his shift was 11am to 7pm. Remember, the shift is actually 11am but all agents were happy to work to a different schedule during training and finish at 5pm instead.
HR requested that this agent not receive emails outside of their contracted hours due to their complaint and right to disconnect. I said "sure, no problem!"
Cue MC. I sent an email out at 9pm two days later with some new information about some of the products that was due to be added the next day. This had only come via the client about an hour before. Agents were all now back to the 11am shift and I wanted to have the information as soon as possible as I had AL booked for the next day.
I had left serial complainer out as per his request and had scheduled his email to send at 11am.
Serial complainer then sent an email to me after receiving the email, whinging that he hadn't been given adequate notice of the new information. My out of office was on as I was AL. Serial complainer the

I have not long graduated university and will be going to back study my masters in September. This is a temporary, minimum wage general dogs-body, customer service type role. The contract runs out at the end of August. I thought this is an excellent opportunity to earn a bit of money between studying.
One of the things i have noticed though is that they constantly send out emails. Between 6-10 emails a day. EVERYDAY! Some are just news bulletins, others are blog posts and updates from the directors and other various departments etc. However, some of them are βimportantβ and require a response. Such as acknowledging changes to policies and procedures and due to the nature and size of the organisation this appears to happen A LOT! The emails contain documents comprised of pages and pages of information that need to be βacknowledgedβ, understood, signed and returned.
Before i begin explaining the issue i feel i must inform you that due to the size of the organisation, staff are authorised to have their mobile phones on our person during our shifts.
So anyway having returned to work after a couple of days off I was collared by one of the supervisors who asked why I havenβt been responding to emails recently as they have sent out several βimportantβ emails including follow ups. I responded that i have been off for a few days and was just was about to read through them now and action them accordingly. They then proceeded to tell me in a rather condescending tone that the emails can be actioned in our free time, outside of work. I respectfully said βbut thats my free timeβ. They were then pretty adamant that it is too much reading etc to be doing during working hours when I am employed to work. I was like βno offence, but ive been employed on minimum wage and am not a salaried member of the team who is reasonably expected to spend so much time conducting work tasks outside of workβ.
Its now become a whole issue and im being made to feel like i am not a βteam playerβ. I cant help but feel im not being unreasonable. So AITA?
Itβs not even noon yet and already Iβve gotten an email about my oldest daughter from one of her teachers. When she turned 14 and went to high school, our daughter requested that we stop calling her Lizzie or Liz. She just wanted to be Elizabeth. It was hard because it felt like she was growing up sooner than we wanted her too but we respect that itβs her name and her choice.
Today, an email came to both me and my wife from one of her teachers. She said to him that her name is Elizabeth, not Liz. In his email, he said that he found her tone to be both inappropriate and short, as well as her grievance odd because most children in the school are okay with teachers using a nickname.
My wife responded before I even had a chance to and copied me: βWhile most children are okay with the use of a nickname, our child is not. We will discuss her βtoneβ but please call her Elizabeth, as she has requested. Warm regards.β
Iβm just glad our daughters have such a great example.

I wish I had some better news to tell you guys, but I'm completely convinced Etoro has pulled another tactic to keep users on their platform, while their entire system is rigged.
First post exposing their possible scam voting website. : https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/nogle3/i_need_urgent_awareness_that_voting_on_etoro/
First point : Etoro did NOT send out an email to every GME holder. after me and my brother found no email in our inboxes, I went to the GME topic on etoro itself. It's a mix of people who claim they got their link, and people asking where the mail is... I had NO mail.
I replied to 1 post and got 4 replies of randoms who didnt get their mail.
Second point : Etoro gives out this link to everyone on their twitter
https://etoro.typeform.com/to/sNbx0cIN#username=xxxxx&email=xxxxx
The original twitter response from etoro team : https://mobile.twitter.com/etoroteam/status/1398284381714882563
See anything special? You can either enter a random username and email address in that link, or just open that link and enter an email address and user in that form.
I went ahead and voted with my actual account info.
I received a message with "Thank you for casting your vote for the GME annual meeting. "
After this, I went ahead and changed to a secondary email address, with a COMPLETELY MADE UP USERNAME.
guess what...
email response on that mail address : "Thank you for casting your vote for the GME annual meeting. ".
Not only does this confirm that you can enter anyones email address, or username, but it also shows the risk that if someone else entered your userinfo, or someone - let's say downloaded the publicly available facebook leaked list of email addresses, etoro can have received voting on all of those addresses which would fuck with all results.
Even if Etoro downloaded the "typeform" database and matched with their database, there is no way in telling if it was the actual user who entered this data.
I bet my left testicle that etoro won't actually send anything to GME that would be counted as user votes..
Third point: There is NO control number. Not in any mail, not on their website. The website is a cheap form that they can send out where people enter their mail addresses, but I seriously doubt they'll actually match any of the data. They first of all will have to verify if there is an accountname linked to the email address. Even if the user entered their username wrong, they got the fucking conf
