Hey just wanted to know…. Am I required to amswer the managers phone calls while I am on time off? She kept calling and calling while I was on leave. Took leave from dec. 31st till January 7th.

I missed a day at work due to covid testing, i didnt notify…. My fault completely 100% … but she wrote me up for it… which is fine. But she stated that she couldnt reach me until a week later (i was on leave- but she didnt write that in) so i asked her to update the write up …. can I call corporate to correct this is she doesnt ????

Technically you can but if she called on the day you were supposed to work then she’s not in the wrong. You no called no showed

I know which is okay that she wrote me up. That day I was supposed to work but didn’t show up. Thats my fault 100%. What I am asking is that she kept calling on my time off and wrote on the write up that I didn’t communicate with her until a week later….. (I WAS ON LEAVE) But she didn’t write the leave part down on the write up.

Sooooo ordinarily yeah you don't have to answer....but considering you didn't answer after knowing you'd made a mistake that could potentially be a fireable offense it was probably in your best interest to answer and settle the matter there and then. This ended up being something that only ended up being a problem for you. I can understand not wanting to answer if you know you're going to be asked to pick up a shift on your time off but if it was me I would have answered knowing I had no call/no showed, even if it was my time off, because in the end it would only make my life harder, no one else's.

Ultimately even if that gets written in on the corrective action no one would care, they would care more about the no call no show. I personally wouldn’t go through the hassle of it imo

It’s just a phone call but I like to keep boundaries. I dont care about making friends, I am there to work. Don’t call me or bug me on my time off. I put it in for a reason. BOUNDARIES ✨ and yes, I actively ignored her calls. ✨

It’s common courtesy lol

Its common to answer calls from work while you are on your time off??? NOPE. It is if you cannot show up for a shift and dont call. That part is 100% my fault. Read it again 🤫

I mean avoiding calls is a easy way to make enemies at work lol it’s just a phone call

If someone is petty enough to consider you an enemy because you didn't drop everything to answer their work related phone call on your time off, then they aren't worth trying to be friends with anyway IMO.

A petty partner? No way 😑

I’m just saying why create any kind of hostility when it can easily be avoided
