Does your boss/colleagues ever call you for work related stuff on your day off?

ProdigalSummer ยท F
Thereโ€™s a group chat with me and the three shift leaders who work for me. Theyโ€™re all the time asking me questions. They also pass along valuable information, so I donโ€™t mind at all.

As a whole communication isnโ€™t very good at my job, so itโ€™s important for me to make sure the team members in my area feel like they are being heard and that they are getting the information they need to perform well.
@ProdigalSummer You sounds like a great boss. My last boss was terrible with communication and when giving instructions was extremely vague and not very detailed at all. You also were not allowed to contact her when she was off and when you did she wouldnโ€™t answer. Once she put me and another shift leader in charge of preparing for inventory which is her and the assistant managerโ€™s responsibility. Me and the other shift leader have never prepared for inventory before and both only worked inventory once which was a couple years ago at the time she didnโ€™t even walk us through what was expected so there was a lot of miscommunication and uncertainty for a lot of what needed to be completed. I even sent her a text and picture message explaining our confusion about certain things and she ignored it. She was also suppose to come in before close to make sure everything was done correctly which she failed to do. When she got in the next morning she sent us a group text about how she was disappointed and was tired of picking up our slack basically ๐Ÿ™ƒ it was also expected to be done on a Saturday night. She was a terrible boss my boss before her was perfect, we werenโ€™t allowed to contact her either but she was so detailed with instruction and walked you through everything to where there was no need to.

Yes,and i always had to answer the phone because back then there was no Caller I.D.,pagers,or cell phones and ya didn't wanna miss a possible urgent or emergency phone call.

Rarely. They have no means to force me to work off hours, so it's strictly on my judgement on whether or not its serious enough to warrant putting in time.
My previous boss use to text us on our day off about random annoying shit ๐Ÿ™„ but you could never get in contact with her about serious issues when she was off. โ€œIt was against policy to contact on off daysโ€ even though she did so regularly with us. I prefer not to contact others on their off days or be contacted on my off days. Another boss I had was big on that and we all followed it.
SW-User
Yes! I had a boss who did this to me all the time!
