• The boss in this story clearly doesn't know the definition of "emergency." He wanted to ask his employee if he could come in on his day off, and the employee didn't answer the phone. Instead of calling somebody else who could come into the office, he called his employee's mom, who happens to be his emergency contact.

• Is it normal or professional to call an employee's emergency contact to ask if they can come in?
