Boss won’t text, calls every 5 minutes

I recently joined this new WFH job as a graphic designer. The company seems good and they're very accommodating. Allows me deadline extensions, lets me take breaks whenever needed, and so on. But there's just one issue that keeps bugging me. My immediate boss is a little older than I am (both in 20s) and she is the one I report to. She tells me all the preliminary changes to be made on the designs and changes provided by her bosses. There can be a bulk of stuff sometimes and it's not always possible to discuss it through chat. So she calls me to let me know the changes. Except, she calls me every 5 minutes. She'd text me a change as simple as changing the background colour, then immediately call me (before I can respond) and tells me the same thing but in three different ways. In fact, she…


I recently joined this new WFH job as a graphic designer. The company seems good and they're very accommodating. Allows me deadline extensions, lets me take breaks whenever needed, and so on.

But there's just one issue that keeps bugging me. My immediate boss is a little older than I am (both in 20s) and she is the one I report to. She tells me all the preliminary changes to be made on the designs and changes provided by her bosses. There can be a bulk of stuff sometimes and it's not always possible to discuss it through chat. So she calls me to let me know the changes.

Except, she calls me every 5 minutes. She'd text me a change as simple as changing the background colour, then immediately call me (before I can respond) and tells me the same thing but in three different ways. In fact, she called me once already while writing this. She's also mentioned how on chat it can become too long winded to suggest corrections, but it's clear the calls take up much more time. The proof is also in the fact that on weekends, I have off, and if she has to send me anything she sends chain texts, and they work perfectly fine.

I'm just stuck answering calls every five minutes, in a language that is neither my first language or second, all day. She'll call me an hour before work starts, usually a time I sleep at because I study after work till late. She calls me during lunch or my break. I am just so tired.

Rant over. Kthanks bye
