fucking millennials its your job do it or quit, most people who work on call dont get a timeframe to do it in or payed just for being on call they get payed if they have to do work and if they get called they have to go imediatly.

Thats great but I don’t really care. I was just wondering if they could force us to work these extra hours at home. Like Fry said, there is no difference for me being “on call” then being at work, minus location.

No shit, I know I can get a new job. I was just wondering if they could FORCE me to take this phone if I wanted to keep my job. But apparently they can, so my question has been answered. Thanks

Edit: I didn’t think they could hire me to work a 9-5 job and then, here it comes, force me to work at home for an extra 35 hours. If I want to keep my job that is… Jesus Christ do I have to fucking spell everything out for you.

ITS CHANGING THE REQUIREMENTS AND REQUIRING YOU TO ROTATE BEING ON CALL (ie. CARRY A FUCKING PHONE) AND PAYING YOU FOR IT! STOP CRYING!
