In the use of instant messaging software, some people still reply to work messages after work. Whether it is overtime in this case depends on the specific situation.
First of all, if replying to work news is voluntary or caused by your own work arrangement, then this situation is considered to be overtime. Because I am still working after work, this will increase working hours and work pressure, which may have a negative impact on my physical and mental health.
Secondly, if the reply to the work message is due to an urgent work or the customer needs an urgent reply, then this situation may need to be judged according to the actual situation. If it happens occasionally, it can be regarded as temporary overtime, but if it happens frequently, it may become overtime culture, which will have a negative impact on personal physical and mental health and work efficiency.
In order to avoid the emergence of overtime culture, we can consider the following suggestions:
1. Reasonable arrangement of working hours:
Finish the work as efficiently as possible during working hours, and avoid working too long and overtime.
2. Clear job responsibilities and work arrangements:
Clear personal job responsibilities and work arrangements, avoid unclear work and overlapping tasks, and reduce the possibility of overtime.

In short, instant messaging software itself is not the culprit of overtime culture. The key lies in how to use it reasonably to avoid the emergence of overtime culture and ensure personal physical and mental health and work efficiency.
In addition, in order to prevent instant messaging software from promoting overtime culture, enterprises and organizations can also take the following measures:
