Always Available
What is Always Available?
The expectation (often self-imposed) that you should respond to work communication immediately, at any hour. The line between work and life disappears. Always available is always exhausted.
When you might feel always available
Always Available is a specific form of communication, which itself is a type of work. You might experience this feeling in situations where work is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define always available.
