Re: Not office hours? No contact
Got it in one. Not work hours, then I'm not available.
Employer wants to issue a phone for work related tasks that's fine, but I still won't answer it when I'm off the clock. Employer issues a work email for company purposes that's fine, but I won't check it when I'm not at work. Employer wants me to provide my home number for emergency contact purposes fine, but if they call me for any other reason then it'll start being picked up by my answering machine. No work email? I won't give them my real email address, I'll go make a work-related Gmail account & only check it during working hours.
It all boils down to "If you aren't paying me then I'm not available." and even if you are paying me, I reserve the right to "accidently" be unavailable in the loo after an ultra greasy meal renders me glued to the porcelain throne. "Sorry I couldn't answer my phone, I left it on the charger while dropping sixteen tonnes in the WC."
