Pro-tip: If you're a boss or manager, don't send email, Slacks, etc, outside of business hours. You might not intend them to be responded to until start of work, but it send a subtile message of "I'm working at 11pm or on the weekend, why aren't you?"

@grumpygamer 👏👏👏

The power dynamic is at play in an interaction like this that is hidden to the person holding the power.

I'd add - don't send your employees messages like "got a second to talk?" that don't also provide context! Anyone that's been in a toxic work environment likely has PTSD from such messages 😂

@saga @grumpygamer maybe I should feel bad about it, but I’m not going to lie, I’ve worked in toxic work environments in the past and sent the “do you have a minute to talk” slack messages to my manager to start the giving 2 weeks notice process, and taken great pleasure in it
