Wally Backman -- Kicking it old school

[Snapolit1]

There is no more pathetic person at any company than the guy or gal who regularly sends non urgent emails on holidays, at 7pm on Friday night, during the Super Bowl, and other odd times basically to make it known to others that they are working when others are not. What you are basically advertising is you dont have a life. Dont ever be that person.

Quick question:

Did the employee see the email over the weekend, while they were off?

If so, they really shouldn't be upset. If they believe work emails are "creating undue pressure outside of work hours," perhaps they shouldn't check their work email during their time off.

I do it sometimes and I almost always regret it.

Yes, he saw the email and then responded with the claim of undue work pressure.

I'm guessing he doesn't see the irony. Hopefully, HR will tell him to consider the possibility he may actually see messages if he checks his email. Some of those messages *might* contain action items for him to handle during the work week.

I know, I know...wild concept, right?
