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

Re: Not office hours? No contact

At a previous job (small company) we'd all get used to keeping our heads down and not interacting with the MD late in the day - especially as it gets to those last 10 minutes before knocking off time. He was a really nice person, but had no idea of time - and he had this habit of engaging people in conversations just before knocking off time, almost always stuff he could have talked about during the rest of the day, but he just had this habit of saving it all till you were about to head out the door.

So we just didn't interact with him late in the day, and sometimes almost sneaked out !
