Current Events > Is it immature to turn do not disturb on on your days off?

(+) Yeah! (+)

To pre-empt people calling me to ask me to take shifts on my days off?

No. Fuck them.

No. Not unless you are contractually obliged to be on call.

Your days off are yours to do as you please.

Maybe a little passive aggressive but If you're off you're off in my opinion.

I'm not contractually obligated to answer.

We are short staffed and my contract is part time over a variable roster. Given the nature of the business, some days I might be the only person they could ask.

But I figure that's their problem, it's not my responsibility to manage their roster.

I'm the type of person that will happily work 7 days in a row...if I'm mentally prepared for it. Nothing worse to me than rushing off to work on a day off.

Nah

Dropping something in the task pool and immediately setting your status to busy is a bitch move tho

Not immature
It's your time. You can do as you please

It's not your responsibility to ensure proper staffing

How is that immature? It's mature to take agency over your own time and mental health.

My phone is always on do not disturb unless I'm expecting a call or notification

Plus I'm constantly listening to music and hate interruptions

That is still my life. Probably will be forever unless my landline service gets eliminated.

Opposite really. Maturity is establishing reasonable boundaries for the sake of your sanity. If they want you to be available 24/7, they can appropriately compensate you for such a responsibility.

My hours are fixed, so I set my work phone to only be "available" within work hours. Although several of the people I work with work outside my hours, nothing requires me to work on my personal time, there are other people who are able to assist.
