[quote=Anonymous]Yikes. This would also drive me nuts.

I think you are likely to get some responses telling you to have more compassion for the colleague admitted to the hospital, but I'm going to sidestep that.

I would not text your manager back - at least not right away. I'd text them later today/this evening and remind them that you were out of pocket this weekend for a private weekend with your spouse, that's it.

Tomorrow I'd go in and tell your manager that your weekend and family time is precious and you intend to mute the group text on the weekends for that reason. If they press, I'd invoke religion or privacy and reiterate that this is something you need to do for your family time.*

My own work text group is similar and there's almost no time in any part of my week that I want to get 20+ texts on anything.

*I'm basing this on a LDS colleague that I had like 20 years ago who was upfront that he did not work on Sundays  - at all. This was law, so Sunday work was not unheard of.
