An individual wrote, “Shouldn’t have responded, and not shown up. You’re on your own time, they can pound sand till you’re back on the clock.”
Another commented, “I worked with a guy that would never answer his phone or text except on the clock. Boss gave up trying to call him after 6 months because he never picked up.”
“I keep my read receipts off for exactly this reason. I’d show up for my next scheduled shift like nothing happened. If confronted, I’d pull out my phone and say something like, ‘Oh, it was my day off; I unplugged,'” shared someone else.
A fourth posted, “I think the worker culture in the great USA is broken. The amount of stuff your managers do is insane. Employees should get more protection, this is just modern slavering. I do not see any of this in Europe ever. My manager respects my day off, my holidays and my schedule. If he really needs me, he will ask first if he can disturb me, and if it is oke to call me.”
