Exactly. I even use the same monitor and everything, but when I'm done for the day, the laptop goes in the drawer and whoever wants something from me will have to wait for the next business day.

I find the same kind of creep can happen at the office, too. Many colleagues end up leaving at 8 PM or later [0] because they have to do this one more thing or someone shows up with just a quick question to ask.

However, I realize that for some people, who have a harder time saying no for whatever reason, it's easier to have a hard, external excuse. "Sorry, I need to catch my train, so I don't have to sleep here" works less well when you're already home. But I think that in both cases it's very important to set boundaries and stick to them.

Seriously! Why do people think that working remotely entitles their boss to 24/7 access? Come on, set some boundaries!

They make the mistake of installing Slack on their phone.

I wonder how many fully grown adult humans are walking around not knowing that they can silence push notifications of any and all types from any and all applications they wish. Their phones must be Hell on earth.
