Absent and boss calling at home

Loopy_Girl

I am off sick at the mo (under a doctor's line) and my boss called me on my home phone the other morning about a work issue.

Is this allowed?

Are you bothered about this? Do you object? Were you able to help?

POSSETTE

what job do you do? its not nice i know, whatever job it is, but it makes you think your irreplacable!!!

It's not illegal if this is what you mean.

If you find it stressful or it is ongoing then you can ask them not to contact you.

Why did you avoid the questions you where asked?

Its not illegal and whether its ethically/morally responsible depends on the circumstances you refused to expand on

If your a minimum wage checkout operator off because of depression or bullying and they called to ask a very simple question anyone could answer out of order

If your in management or where the only one capable of answering then yes its fair to phone you at home and ask and I would suggest very few illnesses would make this unacceptable

Your incapable of working, not holding a phone and answering a few questions if absolutly necessary

The fact you felt the need to post this says a lot, maybe you should resign and find a job you want instead of nitpicking over minor inconveneiences at the most

The above post is abusive.

LG do not take it as representative of the responses on this board.

I hope it is removed before you read it.

yes it is allowed.

I once had a member of staff complain that she had not been kept in contact with whilst off sick!

It’s my aim to make this a great place to be for people to chat about saving money and build a MoneySaving community, free from nasty comments, sales techniques, people driven by profit, advertising and confusion. These rules have been designed to help that. Yet remember this is a privately owned site. Posting is a privilege, not a right. Any posts or anyone that threatens the site’s resources or makes it a worse place to be will be stopped appropriately solely at the discretion of MoneySavingExpert.com with or without reasons given.

Looking at your posts, most of them are nasty comments, you may not think so but if others have pointed this out then perhaps they are.

May i suggest that before you post, read it back to yourself and think of how you would feel getting a 'curt' reply, people come on here for advice, not to be abused by your harsh words.

It's not just this post, looking at other posts you have made, you've been quite rude.

Anyone else think this guy has a rubbish job and would revel in being as important as to be called at home?!

I avoided the questions as quite frankly, it's people like you that roam these boards and want to know every single thing about a person's life when they ask a simple question - mainly because they are sad and have no life so like to live it through others.

You have no idea what I do or indeed why I am off and that is the way it is going to stay....and that's just going to plain annoy you isn't it?!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

My query was answered and I thank the people for that
