While I do agree the flexibility is good, it’s actually one of the reasons why people feel burned out, they always feel connected to something that caused them daily stress.
I’m pretty strict on “take your lunch, take your breaks, log off and stop checking email when you’re off-shift” I’ve burnt out once before and don’t need my team members going through that.
Other people at my company are always connected, responding to emails at 10pm. I’ve made people aware that my team doesn’t work that way and to call me if there’s an off-hours emergency before calling team members.
