I refused to answer messages after 4pm. My former manager called it a red flag.

Side A (age 67)

Nothing has ever actually been urgent. I answer everything by 4am. Being reachable at midnight became an expectation nobody ever agreed to.

Side B (age 56)

Nobody expects a reply at midnight. What's noticed is going quiet during an incident with no handover. Set the boundary and tell us who to call — the silence is the problem, not the hours.
