If it makes you feel any better on the tech side of things we get just a frustrated with people as they do with technology. I can at least respect someone who tries. I'm more than happy to help them if they tried and they couldn't figure it out. Then you have those who just throw their hands in the air and don't try. Those people get moved to the bottom of the list for me. We actually just had a discussion at work about what the expectations are for checking your email on the weekend and over breaks. My feeling is it's your job. That isn't widely held. People choosing not to be informed and then being annoyed because they aren't informed seems to be the norm these days.
Yeah, I know these kinds of people too. For many things, not just tech. I have never understood why process minded people avoid learning about people - we are just algorithms, for the most part!
I think people can choose whether or not to check, but I don't expect them to act on anything over the weekend. At least on emails. If something really urgent comes up, a few people have my private number.
I don't know, I still come from that old school thinking of being dedicated to your job. It's hard for me to just shut it off.
It is difficult, but we are also so much more accessible by the job now. I wonder what it looks like if I add all of those little out if work events as overtime hours.
I guess I wouldn't know, I am salary, so there is no such thing as overtime!
