My boss is called me @ 8 am on a sunday morning?

I didn't answer it because Sunday morning's are the only day I get to sleep in so I let it go to voicemail. He didn't leave a message so I figured it wasn't important.
Well, he's called back 2 times since then and no message.

I am not calling him back. It's my day off!

If he is not leaving any message then it cannot be too important, can it?

Ugh! I had a boss like that. He use to never leave messages because he figured that if he called enough you would pick up and then he can ask the question (like coming in at 5 AM or on my only day off).

Just tell him your family was away for the day... if he's calling your cell phone, name an area that gets crappy reception.

He finally left a message the 5th time he called!
He wanted to ask me if I could come in to help him organize his desk!


Uh.... no..... don't think so!

The job I had before this one was always calling me at home. I quit answering the phone which annoyed people to no end.

I fell for ya. Today is my 3rd day off and today is the 3rd day that they have tried to call me in. I just don't answer the phone when I see private or 1 of the hospital extensions anymore. Of course, they keep trying to call me in because about half of our people have left, are leaving, or they just didn't schedule well.

I usually put in 50+ hour work weeks, (four 10-hour days that usually wind up being 12 hour days, and most Saturdays.) Wednesday and Sunday are my days off. If I see a blocked call on my caller ID, I know it's probably the hospital, so I just don't answer. They rarely leave a message. If they leave a message that they need someone to do a STAT C-section, I will call them back and go in. Thank goodness that hardly ever happens!

Oh that just leaves me speechless. What type of person is he to actually think you would be thinking, "It's my day off and I was sure hoping I could go into the office today"

Luckily my work always shows up as an 'unavailable number' on the caller id, so I can just say I don't answer my phone when I don't know who's calling-- which is true.

I hate when people don't leave messages and just keep calling. Here's some for your phone to be magically disconnected!

No, he's just too lazy to do anything for himself

Nope. Friday was the end of the work week so if I went in today it would be regular hourly then knowing him instead of paying me overtime, he would send me home early one day next week


I just refused to answer it.

It's my day off and I need to organize my desk and house!
And spend time with my kids.. Plus, I don't have a babysitter on Sundays

I guess your boss doesn't have a life outside of work thinking you would just leap up and do his bidding!!
