@electrineer
They called me on slack, we use pro -
@SortOfTested well is it possible to wake you up by calling you on slack either after that experience
-
@electrineer
Yes, unfortunately there are clients on slack where that would be acceptable. This just wasn't one of them, and slack lacks per client DND config. -
@SortOfTested can't you configure it from your phone's system wide or app wide settings
-
@electrineer
Not for specific users. There are some users I have to answer anytime they call, because they pay for it. -
@SortOfTested fair enough

Nahh you have to draw up boundaries. I tell management to back the hell up and always fight for my guys. They can't do the work I need them to do if they constantly feel overwhelmed. I make sure not to bother anyone in the weekend and keep our hours strictly 9 to 5. No way in hell do I answer calls before 9 am. Unless anyone is paying me to work more than 9 to 5 I.e draw up a new contract with me, then no way man I need a life (even if it involves simply lying about my parents house doing nothing)

@witchDev I constantly do it. Its just that the number of people calling my office or contacting me at home has increased drastically. I have gotten in a few arguments already over people bitching about the shit they need or about refusing to give them the numbers of my employees.
Some people are dense af I swear.
Apparently, working from home means "you are available 24/7 right?" at my current workplace. I am grateful that I have a job, but I do not dig getting emails or my guys getting harassed after hours for things that would normally have to wait until the next day.
I also dislike getting woken up by the Head of Department 1 hour to 2 hours before normal time because of something super-duper-zomg urgent that would normally wait. Which is why my phone is now on silence for phone calls and my notifications for emails is out after hours.
