'Is this a joke?!': Micromanager demands constant availability from part-time employee and issues write-up for not answering the phone on day off

If one wants to hold onto their job and advance in the company, they should treat it seriously. Having said that, do you still owe your manager an explanation of what you are doing and with whom when you are not in the office?

The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) receives hourly pay for his part-time job at the local gym. At first, everything was going smoothly, and OP was enjoying working with the fitness enthusiasts. However, things took a terrible turn when OP's micromanager attempted to write him up for turning off his phone while he was not in the office. She said that although he only receives an hourly wage and only works part-time, she still wants him to be at her disposal anytime she needs him.

In need of guidance on handling his entitled micromanager, OP turned to Reddit. He received a variety of responses that enabled him to get through this challenging situation. So, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in finding out exactly what happened and whether or not OP confronted his micromanager! Additionally, after you're done, don't forget to read the story of the micromanager who fakes a report only to be exposed by an employee's hidden recording device!
