I'd agree that it's certainly more civil to give people the heads up but you don't always have the advance knowledge to give people that heads up. Also it's not uncommon for people running overnight tasks to be expected to give IT a heads up (even via a Post-It note on the keyboard) that their machine needs leaving alone that evening | |

I frequently leave things running on my desktop overnight/while I'm away and if that was interrupted without any warning, I'd be quite upset. | |
| Jun 6, 2017 at 13:11 | comment | added | Magisch | This is true. I work in IT in my company and we generally don't do big updates, installs or moves when people are there. This is because there is no need to steal time from coworkers to do routine procedures that you can do without them anyways. But of course the professional thing is to give a heads up on it. "I'll be updating your PC tonight, make sure it's turned off for now". | |
