[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No spouses, no kids, no hobbies, no church, no volunteering, honestly, I'm not sure they even have any friends.

All they have is work. And they choose to work 7 days a week

And they call you on Saturday mornings (while you're canoeing the Shennandoah with your sons) asking about absolutely meaningless trvial things (we work in automotive and aircraft parts supply chain management, not cancer research)..... how do you tell them to piss off?

This lady has done this three times now in the last two months and then 'complained' to our manager how I was 'unresponsive' on the weekend.[/quote]

Firstly, you have very little idea of my life outside work. You don't know whether I go to any house of worship or what religious practices I may or may not partake in. Secondly you have no idea if I have hobbies or volunteer or what if anything I do with any friends I may have bc I don't talk about thos things. Thirdly, you are not required to answer your phone on the weekends. So just let them leave a voicemail and you can respond when you're ready. [/quote]

Except PP said the woman complains to the manager if OP doesn’t respond on weekends.

OP, what did your manager say? And have you told directly this woman that you work hard during the week so that you can have time off on the weekends? Let her know that Monday morning is when you will respond to anything work-related that isn’t a complete dire emergency. [/quote]
