I'm guessing that Julie Morgenstern doesn't work in a fast-paced environment where a missed email in the morning can make or break a deal. The reality is, for many of us, that society has become a 24/7 work world. That sucks. But it's also real. I'm a lawyer. I feel like I'm "on call" constantly. I have managed to stop feeling guilty about not responding to client email over the weekend (my husband still does). My clients and colleagues, however, expect me to check my email - in the morning and all day long. I think that's the expectation in most workplaces.
