Switching off
I had a manager once call me on my personal phone about 6 times in an evening.
My phone was on silent as
1 it was my personal device
2 I wasn’t on call that week
3 I was watching a film.
When it is on silent only a few peoples number overrides it and it rings.
The reason for the call they were doing a cascade test….
When I did answer (about 3 hours after the calls) I got moaned at for not answering the phone. I pointed out that I didn’t for the reasons above and if they wanted me to answer anytime then it wasn’t going to happen.
I also said that once I leave the office then I don’t care what happens until the next morning.
I won’t put any corporate stuff on a personal phone, or any of my own computers. If they insist on that then they can take a jump.
Mind you as a contractor they can’t force it on me.
