amen to that.
Ignore them. If they have a problem with you saying "I won't be contactable from friday - sunday evening" then fuck em... it is their problem, I wouldn't even give it a second thought. (unless you're paid to be on call).
yep
So much has been deemed "essential" that didn't used to exist or didn't used to be "that important" that someone needed to be contactable.
Before cellphones it was pagers. Before pagers it was "be at home near your landline."
On-call is necessary but it can't be plan B, gotta have plan C, D.... Sometimes I take a shower or mow the lawn so I won't pick up, guess you'll have to figure it out!!
I put my phone on silent mode and / or airplane mode. If / when I feel like checking, I check. Fuck that 24/7 available shit.
Is it written in your contract that you need to be contactable at all times?
Yes? Gotta do what you're being paid for.
No? Turn off your phone. Work doesn't like it? Organise a meeting to renegotiate your contract to include it, and make sure that you're being paid for the extra responsibility.
I hate that you think anyone wants to contact you.
Nobody likes you.

I'm flattered that you would create an account just to tell me that.
This is probably a bait account to see who will downvote them, now that is doxxed. Makes this fledgling site unusable.
