Isn't a part of the culture the expectations that everyone has though? How many of us hold off sending an actionable e-mail on the weekend out of respect for the weekend?

There have been times when I've switched off for the day/week, only to receive e-mails, followed by Skype messages, sometimes even followed by phone calls to attend to something asap. In my support role, I can sometimes receive multiple emails from the same person over the span of a few hours demanding attention for an issue.

Maybe we all need to collectively back off?
