Am I behind? Has the workplace etiquette changed on contacting someone on their day off or do I just work with crazy?
So instead of lay someone off, we all took substantial cuts in our hours at work. Not the best but hey-- I still have a job. But driving me crazy with calling or expecting me to come in on the days I am not paid to work anymore. I work with kids and families so if there is a crisis and I can help I give a few hours regardless of the day of the week or my hours. But I know I am giving the hours away....
It is a different situration when they schedule meetings on my day off and then there are the phone calls every weekday I am not working. Phone calls to relay non essential messages or ask about paperwork or catch up on stuff that should already be done....
Then I don't come in on my days off or return phone calls (I have managed another money making enterprise in my unpaid two days off)-- and I am called unprofessional or rude. Whereas I think it is unprofessional to contact someone when they are not working and not even in the ofice to answer questions about paperwork in the office!
Of course there are a host of other problems that probably lead to us all being on austerity hours-- but this is killing me right now!
