So I work for a corporate company, and our last manager was adamant that we use slack on our personal phones so they can message us at any time, and expect us to read and like everything that’s posted. However, when we message them or comment on anything, we get reprimanded and told that it’s not an appropriate place to post anything.
Today, I messaged my manager on slack saying I was sick at like 6am (I think mild food poisoning) because I don’t think it’s appropriate to text let alone call someone at 6am (the business opens at 8) and the shift manager texts me a few hours later saying I can’t do that, and that they count it as no call no show because I didn’t text or call the other manager.
Today, I deleted slack and my work email off my phone. Today, I stopped caring what they wanted. They pay me minimum wage and still expect me to use these apps for their gain on my own time? Yeah no.
