I have gone into my notifications and carefully trimmed almost every single one of them.
A friend of mine who used to work in the state department recently changed jobs and was able to turn off all notifications. All of them. No exceptions. He looks so at peace with his life, it made me jealous.
During a recent game development project, my boss openly called me out for not having my notifications on when I did not respond to after-hours @-tags when I was off the clock. This boss considers anything other than absolute compliance with his whims to be “backtalk.“ So I quietly agreed, turned on notifications, and began looking for a new job.
You don’t quit a job, you quit bad managers.
