My Time is Not Yours
Stop acting as if I’m your employee (A rant supposed to be posted on Facebook)
To whom it may concern:
I have a fully-loaded life. If I don’t post my activities on Facebook, it doesn’t mean that I’m not doing anything. Just like you, I have work, family, social, and even environmental responsibilities (lol).
Don’t message me during office hours and expect that I will answer you immediately. If I’m at work, I devote my entire office hours to working as I don’t have the attitude to shortchange the organization which feeds my family. So don’t expect me to answer you because I don’t work for you.
The last time you has this kind of request (or may I say demand), you called me while I’m doing a very important online international presentation. During important events like that, I have my phone beside me so my colleagues can easily message me in case of technical glitches in my presentation. But what happened is I got distracted by loud rings from my phone because you called not once but thrice.
I finally opened your message during the night before I slept and answered all your legal questions. It was the time that I'm supposed to sleep but I entertained and settled all your questions, for free.
