Nothing screams "work-life balance" quite like that delightful ping at 9:30 PM on a Friday. You know, right when you've finally cracked open your first beer and convinced yourself you're off the clock. But wait—it's marked "urgent"! Here's the thing: if it's truly urgent at 9:30 PM on a Friday, someone's infrastructure is on fire and they should be calling you, not emailing. Otherwise, it's just Karen from marketing who suddenly remembered she needs that feature deployed before Monday because she promised it to a client without consulting anyone technical first. Pro tip: The only thing urgent on a Friday night is deciding which streaming service to binge. Everything else can wait until Monday. Your Slack notifications? Off. Your email? Snoozed. Your sanity? Preserved.
