This always-on culture we're in is awful. How do we stop it? Oh, sorry, hold on – just had another notification

I expect to be available out of hours since we're a very small department supporting a group with companies in Australia and New Zealand amongst others. However I would only respond to emergencies, anything routine waits until my normal work time (which is longer than office hours but that's my choice).

I also will pick up things when on leave if I have to, it reduces the stress when I return (having once had an employer cause me a week's work rebuilding a Unix box after they let an idiot of a service engineer at it while I was on holiday I'd rather know and react to major issues).
