Emails are not text messages. Its not like they are going to wake you up.
I could send my boss an email at 4am in the morning or 11 at night. It wouldn't matter. They wouldnt get the email until they opened their computer to start the day. Does anyone actually read the time stamp on an email?
Sorry it speaks worse of the employee. OMG I had an email waiting for me when I started work this morning. Seriously you are getting paid to handle that. Its not like Meghan called them at 4 am and woke them up.
It screams an employee 'I didn't get enough gold stars for showing up to work today'.
What a condescending thing to say.
In some jobs, especially PA, communication, press etc a response to an Email from the boss is expected in the 20mins ors so, days or nighs. It's an implicit rule, or even explicit as this requirement is sometimes detailed in the employement contract.
A boss is deemed a good manager if he/she will abuse or not of this clause.
In France a " right to deconnect" was created in 2017 especially to fight many abuses on this front.
