I manage a small team and my boss often texts me at night and on weekends about non-urgent tasks. We're remote across time zones, so I get that schedules vary, but it's starting to blur my off-hours. I can't change jobs right now and I don't want to damage the relationship. What's a professional way to set expectations, maybe via a single conversation and some phone settings? Specific phrasing that's firm but not confrontational would help. Any tips that work even when the culture is 'always on'? Context: I'm hoping for practical tips or "this worked for me" style answers.
