    If your boss can’t figure that shit out during working hours they need to get their shit straight.

    I’m not going to be on call for zero compensation because you’re scatterbrained, inept or understaffed

      Because everything important happens during every employees working hours, and it is inconceivable that a plan could change for any reason while you aren’t clocked in.

      If you want work to get done you have to be coordinated. Just text back, its not that fucking hard.

      I would agree that your boss shouldn’t expect you to answer at all hours of the day or even remotely quickly, but if you literally never answer anything then I have very little sympathy for you when you get fired.

          I think there is a difference between being on call and being expected to text your boss sometimes. You could literally just check your phone once a day at the same time and it would be fine. Maybe they should throw you a dime for that few seconds of grueling labor, but I don’t really give a shit.

        There shouldn’t be anything that requires the employee not be informed the next working day. If it’s such an emergency you can’t wait then you should call your doctor not your employee.
