This still happens in some places. In various parts of Europe there are legal obligations not to email employees out of hours if it is avoidable. Volkswagen famously adopted a policy in Germany of only enabling receipt of new email messages for most of their employees 30 minutes before start of the working day, then disabling 30 minutes after the end, with weekends turned off also. You can leave work on Friday and know you won't be receiving further emails until Monday.
