Checking your e-mail and other work in the evenings
-
Yeah. It's hard to tell what is better. And there has to be more to it, because how will businesses that run at night, for example, function?
-
Yes, please! Email outside work hours is horrible. I might check mine once or twice a night. If something blows up, key people know how to otherwise get ahold of me.

I check my work email at night mainly for replies to my SW posts
We're an 7am - 6 pm shop, with no expectation to be oncall, so I look when I want to. I have to say it's nice.
-
For me I have to be watching my email from 6am to at least 10pm everyday weekends included and the only reason it's not later than that is because I have a team that works from 10pm till 3 or 4 am everyday and they are watching for me. However I do have rules that I run on the weekends only so I am not getting alerts for anything other than helpdesk emails. We are really lucky these days with our clients that are not open on weekends so unless something really blows up we are able to not be so worried about any stray issues.

I definitely appreciated that you checked it last weekend
-
I don't have emails to check but i am just living near our office so every time something went wrong i am always around
Sometimes they just knock on our door. -

As of this time still I am working. Preparing for our Workflow System.
One of my night shift team is not around, So i guess its better to stay a little late than going home and later on they will ask me to come back to fix something.Lol -
