My (personal) phone exists for my convenience and utility, not everyone else’s.

I won’t answer 30 calls a day asking about my car warranty, credit card offers, insurance solicitations, and the “I’m your assigned staffing consultant and already working with some of your colleagues…” bullshit time-wasting calls just to save you a few minutes and allow you to also interrupt me.

If you’re a colleague, we have slack, email, zoom, and you can look up my number and text me on my private cell number. If that’s not enough, I’m sorry.

My company provides me a work phone with a separate phone number. This is where I get pages and urgent or intentionally disruptive calls/messages
