There are a lot of obvious missing features from workplace tools to avoid bothering people when they're not online. Why can't I send calendar invites, assign tasks and send emails at any hour, but change recipient notifications or receipt to avoid interrupting off hrs? This is in line with the internet's idea that it's up to every individual to "protect" themselves with their own filters and settings I don't believe full responsibility should be on the receiving end. I wish our tools gave responsibility to senders for how they communicate. I work weird hours. We have team members in different time zones. My productivity is inhibited when I can't do anything that would notify my team. I find myself prepping tasks and setting calendar holds, alongside a list of who I need to add to things at a normal hr. I'm not even remotely surprised that considerate communication use cases haven't been accounted for. The people building these tools have been rewarded for "working so hard" – evidenced by cal invites and PRs submitted over the weekend. Doing work when it's productive for you is good. But if there's a consequence of negatively impacting another teammate's productivity then where does the team net out? I'd like to see tools be more thoughtful about that please.
