Employer calling home number early in morning

[Deleted User]

Now I thought this a bit off....

Wife due in work at 7am but had been asked by manager to attend a different site (at 7am). So she did.

715am home phone rand. Different manager, really annoyed, "where is X?" "Umm, who are you?" "Right shes gone to work."

Then manager says well shes supposed be here 15 mins ago, so I point out I think shes gone to site B. At which manager annoyed says well no-one told me.

No apology for waking everyone up including the baby. How rude.

Wife has a work mobile but signal is not great where she went. Chances are manager tried this first. Am I not the only one to think your employer should not be calling you at unsociable hours on your personal number unless its really important?

After all, she could have been stuck in a traffic jam for 15 mins. Does not allow a rude phone call early in the morning in my book. Especially when it appears the problem was due to internal !!!!-up anyway.

7.15am is hardly unsociable.

Here we go again with issues between you and your wifes' employer :rotfl:


If Mrs F is due at work at 7am and employer can't contact her by mobile then it's not unfair to ring home phone. 7.15am is far from unsociable especially is Mrs F should already be at work at that stage


Couple of options


1) Unplug home phone
2) Get Mrs F a reliable mobile allowing her to answer and stop being a burden on your life
3) Ask Mrs F to get a new job that avoids you having to moan on here about her employer


An internal !!!! up it may be but I can't imagine a complaint's going to get her very far

The time of day wouldnt unduely worry me, but the rudeness would.
That said, unless you want to rock the boat i'm not sure what you expect to happen?
Probably a case of notching it up as a one off.

The fiancee regularly gets calls between 2-5am from work, naturally this doesnt benefit me.

Shes been on maternity for 2 weeks and hasnt had 1 day where they havent phoned her.

My work dont care too much about me, they wouldnt notice for a few days.

Unfortunately sounds like you missed your chance to embarass and make a fool of them, i wouldve gone down the i panic about eveything route and start mentioning that you'd heard there was an accident on the a(insert number) and now youre really concerned, she set off on time too:eek:. Or she stormed out last night with a guy called juan. :cool:

It's very rude to take out their stress on you, and IMO anything before 8am is unsociable. However if it was the rudest treatment that some random person gave me this week, I think the universe would be having a very good week.

Is it a poll? I vote for 3.

7.15 is not at all unsociable. If Mrs F whinges on as much as you do on here, then maybe he was not looking forward to talking to her/you.

I got woken up at 11.30 at night a few weeks back, which is not unsociable itself though week nights I'm in bed for 9.30 ( rock n roll, eh? ). Phone call finished at 02.30, out of bed usual time of 5.15.

I think that was relatively unsociable.....

Here we go again with k3lvc acting like a !!!!.

I dont know why I'm even responding to you. But here we go.

1) Stupid moronic answer.
2) Its a work mobile. And I dont think they've yet invented a mobile that has 100% coverage everywhere? Unless you could enlighten me.
3) Or better still I could ignore idiots like you.

Welcome to the wolfpack HiToAll - your badge is in the post. You should be so proud of yourself.

Every single post in your posting history contains nastiness or unpleasantness of some sort or other it seems. You'll be breaking a record soon - maybe 200 posts of complete bitterness and bile.

Funny that but I think I;m not enjoying responding to a no-one like you.
