this is my view - basically if it is an email or text (work or personal) I send it whenever I want eg weekends, 3 am etc. my logic is most people have their phone on silent and read/ respond messages when it suits them.
If it is a phone call however, then that is obvs weekday office hour.
Why didn’t you send it on Friday? I’d wait till Monday though
Wait until Monday. I don't know a singe banker who has their email on silent on a Saturday
what do you mean? wouldn't that mean they check their emails on Saturday...
why would they want to be bothered by your email on a Saturday when they're probably swamped with other emails?
Please don't do this. Send on Monday morning. No one wants to be bothered during the weekend, or late at night, by a thank you email - it's just courtesy thing. Everyone in banking (and similar industries / positions) has notifications enabled 24/7 so it really is quite irritating to be bothered by something non-important like a thank you email.
Ebitdamnson really hit it on the head. Trust me nobody wants a pointless thank you email on a weekend. At best, the recipient doesn't care. At worst, it's viewed negatively.
can we email HR on the weekemd?
