Hmm, I’m sort of the opposite, I check my messages when I want, including during the weekend (mostly when bored), but there’s no expectation of anyone doing that. I also have all notifications turned off. Checking messages has to be an active choice I make.

I also have zero compunctions about just flipping my laptop closed at 6. I might want to continue, but I don’t feel any obligation to.

A few people have called me on my work/personal phone after 6 for non-urgent reasons, but we’ve established that is not acceptable.
