Damn straight, I was going to say this. I work at a B2B startup and I’ve got notifications on to respond if a customer has a request outside of my office hours (our customers are global, our team is not. So, out of hours customer service is a thing), but if my boss has a question it’s not getting an answer until Monday morning. He knows he can call if there’s something drastic like the servers being down, but otherwise it can wait. He knows the value of personal time.

I also might respond if someone floats an idea on Slack over the weekend, but that’s because I love building our product — nobody requires my response until weekdays.
