    roehnin 8 hr. ago You should write back and specifically say you prefer texting as it leaves a record, which protects both you and the company from any dispute over whether or when contact was made. Besides, they only want you on the phone so they can question and cajole. 1.0k Reply Share

    JerseyshoreSeagull OP. 6 hr. ago Again. It was just that easy. And she's in for a nice surprise on Tuesday 100% unrelated to this. This is nothing compared to some of the other she's done. I thought this is poignant. If I know the rules and it's OPTIONAL to use my personal phone for ANYTHING work related not JUST work, try not to make of a complete yourself for absolutely NO REASON other than a power trip. 107 Reply Share

    JerseyshoreSeagull OP. 11 hr. ago She didn't respond. When I came into work. She didn't say a word. I know the rules here. Unless I'm furnished a phone I am in no way required to use my personal phone for business. 100% optional. ↑ 1.0k Reply Share

    Hankhoff 10 hr. ago Mail conversation from the last time I called in sick: "hi [boss name] I won't be able to make it to work today since I'm sick. Going to the doctors office later and inform you how long I'll be out, then" "alright, get well soon" It's astonishing how easy it would be to be a decent human being and how some people like OPs boss still up
