re: Client texting unurgent requests late at night

If the answer was readily available to me with no effort, I'd respond when I saw the text. Otherwise, I'd respond tomorrow.

Is this your first off hour client interaction?

find better clients

You don't have an assistant handling this stuff? Sorry you're poor.

Your retort makes no sense.

Depends on whether or not they’re paying me extra to handle those kinds of requests outside of regular business hours

11 at night? bullshite. Unless it’s literally life or death, frick that. It can be handled in the morning. Some people can’t shut it off and want you to not shut it off too. I have had this shite happen before and it can wait until the morning . Im a human, not your own personal little worker bee.

I wouldn't answer it either if it's not something that needs to be looked at after hours.

Unfortunately, I work in a 24/7 365 business and get after hours calls relatively often.

So no work/life balance at all for you? I'm on call sometimes where it's expected that I answer the phone.

I usually do it when I'm not on call too but people can't be expected to be available their entire life.

If a client texts me some stupid shite late at night I ignore it until I’m ready to respond because I’m a boss.

This is why I have my cell volume and/the phone off at night. I have a landline for emergencies. Worth it.

First time I've heard or seen the word "unurgent."
