No idea why you want to miss out on an opportunity to show your boss that you're working late. The only use-case I see for scheduling is to do the opposite and schedule it in the night to pretend to be "going the extra mile" by working outside business hours.

I’m talking about the opposite where you are the boss. I don’t send emails at night so my staff don’t feel the expectation to be constantly checking and replying to me. Just because I work weird hours doesn’t mean I expect my staff to.

If one of my team sends too many emails at weird hours I’d make a point of talking to them about their workload and life balance at an upcoming 1:1 to make sure things aren’t getting too off track.

Because teams want a cultural expectation of normal work hours. I am often a night owl and I’ve sent messages late at night and gotten asked my manager if I’m overworking and since then try to avoid doing it unless I’m responding to someone.

Not all of us are performative, or want to set the expectation that we don't have a personal life.

You're getting downvoted but I have known a lot of people who will set non-urgent emails to delay send at 7:30-9pm so they look like they are working late. It's silly but most of those people ended up getting promoted.
