[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure why listing what you did over the weekend is relevant to the situation of a colleague calling about what they thought was an important situation. Why not just say you had not checked email but can respond Monday? Or even, take 5 minutes to respond now? It is not like you were called into work or in the middle of an important event.  [/quote]

It's like you didn't read the post. OP doesn't want clients clawing their way into his off hours and personal life. And I applaud him for that. You kids today are so stupid that you essentially have been brain washed into thinking "It's just an email!" It's just a phone call!" "It's just a couple hours on a Sunday!"

My employer will never own me. But, you do you.[/quote]

Holy F. OP works in Facility Management and maybe the facilities she manages are open on the weekends. It is her job to be available as she said herself. [/quote]

OP already said that she isn't on call this weekend - her coworker that called was and was being paid for it. OP osnt being paid for being on call this weekend. [/quote]

Unless OP is getting paid hourly, these things come with territory. Do you not work PP? [/quote]

DP. At OP' org, they specifically pay people to be on call. OP isn't being paid for that so isn't required to do that. She mentioned a campus visit so I assume she works for a university, and I always had the impression universities are more like government jobs where there is less of an expectation to reply on the weekend unless you're working on something big or very high up the chain.[/quote]
