How do they differentiate critical communication which should get thru?

How would this work at a place like Amazon, for example? Even with 24hr staffing, there are some instances when the right person(s) are needed. Letting only messages marked as critical thru could lead to most off-hour massages categorized as important. I can see this working in some industries, but not all.



They only turn off email, right? I would imagine that actual phone calls are still possible.

I can imagine that working pretty well. I think people are in general much more hesitant to call than to send an email.


This would never work at Amazon. Fortunately for Amazon, they're not dependent on unions.


It's fortunate for Amazon. It apparently isn't fortunate for Amazon's employees.
