He was very young, bless his sweet heart, but still.
One of the (many) problems with that particular institutional culture was the unspoken demand to reply to emails instantly, which led to an unfortunate phenomenon that I'm going to call "Men Do Not Think Before Hitting Reply." (And it's not that women didn't sometimes have this problem as well, but I call it like I see it.)
As an institution, UPenn is the sort of unapologetic neoliberal hellscape you'd expect to have produced the current POTUS. That being said, there has apparently been top-down action to prevent "24/7 access" online burnout during the past several years. The difference between institutional cultures in this specific regard is so strong that I can feel it in my physical body.

It's kind of nice, actually.
