Messaging colleagues after work makes them mad

Receiving text messages or emails from colleagues makes workers angry, a study reveals.

The study, published in the Academy of Management Journal reports that 341 workers were tracked for seven days, their feelings recorded whenever they received an email from the office.

Nearly all the respondents showed that they became angry when they received a work related email or text after finishing for the day, complaining that the correspondence required too much of their personal time.
