I am self employed and I work 6 days a week but have Sunday off to spend with my family. In the last few years a number of my clients have become very demanding, insisting on answers to non urgent questions immediately. I have informed them that I do not work at all on a Sunday and turn my work phone off. This doesn't deter a few and this morning I turned on my phone to see:
10.22am
"Can you do Wednesday 12th instead of Tues 11th, same time"
13.04
"I can not longer do Wed, please advise"
15.56
"???"
17.01
"??"
I called her this morning and she was very breezy, we changed the appointment. I reminded her I do not have my work phone on a Sunday and she said "Oh I was sorting the diary out, it's not a big deal"
So why send me so many texts?
Others regularly do this too. Is it rude or am I old fashioned and out of touch. I feel a bit out of the loop, like I've missed something that's changed in communication. AIBU to not respond to clients on a Sunday?
Thank you
