[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crazy thread.

I'm an introverted Gen-X worker.  I have no idea why anyone would have a problem with his boss calling him about work-related topics during normal working hours.  That is how work works.

I would feel differently if this thread were about short calls that turn into hour-long discussions, but, as far as I can tell, that is not that issue that OP has.  I could also see where it might be a problem if the boss calls extremely frequently (multiple times per hour) with simple, non-urgent questions, but, again, this does not seem to be the problem under discussion.

In any case:  if you are at work and the phone rings, answer it.  If your boss is on the other end, talk to him.  If he has questions, answer them.[/quote]

GenX here as well and I feel the same way. A quick work related question during work hours seems reasonable. I truly can’t imagine why it’s an issue. But I’m old so clearly there’s a disconnect. But I asked my adult DC (25) and they reacted the same way I did. They didn’t see any problem with their boss giving them a quick call without notice. [/quote]
