But if you cut off your internet access, how do you keep in touch with your coworkers after hours?



I've found that it was too easy for my co-workers to ping me on things that can wait until the next day or stuff I can't do anything about until I get to work. I've asked them to call me if there's an issue that I have to fix. So far I've gotten zero calls and it's been over a year. If ever it becomes an issue I've got internet access within 5 mins from me. I suspect it's the same situation for most people.


Why would you need to do that?

If they are also friends, fine -- make after-work plans face-to-face. Otherwise, talk to them at work tomorrow.


What do you mean? If they are your friends, they can call you. If they need to talk to you about work... well that's not what "after hours" are for!


Sorry, I forgot to append /s.
