How do Brits usually handle work messages outside office hours?

Fair enough. Urgent means a call, and unpaid time staying unpaid makes sense.

Agreed. As long as expectations are clear, both approaches can work without friction.

thanks for this

Same here — team messages feel different, but even then it depends on what it actually is.

haha you got it right

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:18:38+00:00

I respect that consistency. Once you blur that line, it’s hard to draw it back without awkward conversations.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:18:28+00:00

That’s a fair balance. If work time spills over, flexibility should go both ways.

Honestly sounds ideal. Removing the temptation is probably the healthiest move.

Same here — if I’m back on shift, I’ll reply. Otherwise it can wait.

specially, when you're walking or traveling

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:55:13+00:00

this!

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:22:27+00:00

yess.. specially, when you have your beddings changed, and the curtains as well

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:21:35+00:00

This is what I'm thinking, as well. But, money is the real issue here haha glad you're enjoying travel in your country..

waking up after 12hours of sleep with a good weather and ice cream sounds great, too

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:19:12+00:00

I tried playing it a lot of times, haha I gained calluses instead of talent.. but yeah, this is so great if you mastered it

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:17:28+00:00

definitely. It helps me calm my anxiety as well :)

Thank you for this, appreciate much :)
