I accidentally drank someone's internet booze order. I'd got an email from a lady I knew who said she was sending me a bottle of something for helping her out with some job. Later in the day a bottle arrived from a supplier in her part of Glasgow. I cracked it open and a couple of us at work got fired into the lovely gin. A wee while later a neighbour came in and asked if we had his bottle of gin. He took it very well and the delivery company sent him another bottle. Stupid delivery person never told me the parcel was for a neighbour. Finders keepers and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got someone else's tickets for the 2007 Scottish Cup Final delivered to our door, someone round the corner has the same surname and I'm sure the same first initial too. I can't remember what made us realise they weren't ours as we were waiting on tickets as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Being contacted from work when I've left, or on my days off. If it's an emergency or something I need to know then fair enough, but increasingly I'm getting phoned or texted about things that are either not very important or could wait until I'm next in.Becoming very tempted to ignore any contact from work altogether, but then if I ignore a call or a text I find myself thinking about it until I finally give in and reply. I like and care about my job, but when I leave the place I want to forget about it and focus on my family or friends or football or anything I fancy. Maybe I should get a separate work phone and just turn it off when I'm not actually in the place. Leave them my landline for absolute emergencies but nothing else. I think texting is the problem, far too easy to just send a text. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think texting is the problem, far too easy to just send a text. Employers thinking they're entitled to your services 24/7 seems to be a creeping threat these days - new phone technology has made people more available which isn't necessarily always a good thing - different if you're being paid to be on call, but most of us aren't. My current boss is brand new and wouldn't dream of bugging me on a day off or after I've left. but with a previous one I had to end up making it clear I didn't welcome intrusion into my own time - fair enough as you say if it's an emergency, but 99 times out of 100 it'd be some pish that I could do myself in ten seconds the following day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird thing is it's never my boss who contacts me. He seems to value work life balance really well, it's other people on the same level as me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
