Absolutely, but it might not be possibly entirely, teammate or managers can poke you with personal msg/call. I work for Europe team, when I go out, simply can change status to Away, doesn’t matter how long you are out. Despite having work phone, didn’t install anything related to work. They never reach out personally, they respect the personal space and trust the individual. We are very far away from that work culture.

Slack won't let me Slack: How to unplug when your boss is just one ping away?

I've been thinking about how we're always connected to work these days. The line between work and personal time seems to be getting blurrier, with our phones constantly buzzing with work notifications. It's becoming a real challenge for many to truly disconnect and maintain a healthy work-life balance. I've personally struggled with this - just last week, I found myself answering work emails at on a Saturday, and it made me realize how much it's affecting my downtime. In an age of constant connectivity, how do you manage work-related communication outside office hours? What boundaries have you or your company set to prevent burnout?

Gmail vs slack

It's been almost a month at my new job and among other things, the transition from email to slack for internal conversations has been very very interesting. previously everything had to be on email for it to be considered legit, slack was also there but not an official channel. now it is slack and only slack, personally prefer this.
