phone texts when ill
Been off with a virus for a few days and I have had 4 text messages from DOM asking for me to come in tomorrow as they cant cover my duty.
I had told him yesterday and this morning I had a virus, Only noticed when I turned my mobile on tonight as I turned it off yesterday to stop the alarm
Would you call it bullying and should I tell him its not my fault you cant cover the duty?

Re: phone texts when ill
My old DOM was forever doing this. I'd be asleep then I'd get a text at 6.15 am asking me to come in 2 hours early at 7.00am. When I would get back off holiday there would be texts on my phone.
My new DOM either has more sense (unlikely) or just hasn't figured out how to find my phone number on the system (likely).

I am struggling to imagine the circumstances that led you to give them your mobile numbers in the first place.

Re: phone texts when ill
Its bad though
I was off for 3 days a few weeks back with a sickness virus and felt totally crap. If you stuck a £50 note on a tree outside my house i would not have been well enough to take it. Why cant they just leave people alone when they are sick

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: phone texts when ill
Mobile phones are the Devil's instruments.
My Dork/DimDom will never, I repeat, never, get my mobile number, as I am one of very few Britons not to own one.
So, RM can stick that up their park 'n' poop, or whatever damn fool name they call their latest bit of nonsense.

If he rings again with the "I cant cover it" routine I will ask the DOM what round the 2 managers are doing
