I work term time so I’m enjoying the school holidays with my children. However... my boss has non stop contacted me throughout and I’m getting fed up. It’s often an email here or there asking for me to update paper work and return, fine, but I’ve had numerous calls from her which I refuse to answer outside of work time and texts asking me to answer her within the hour/ she’s in work so to pop in. One call was during an emergency I had no intention of answering my phone to anyone and she sent a rude text that I should be available at all times. This isn’t in my contract and there isn’t any work that needs to be completed outside of my place of work, especially during half terms etc so I feel like she is being completely unfair knowing I haven’t got childcare to do this. I have now been asked to go in twice to organise plans for September (all unpaid I might add) at the end of August. It’s not necessary for my role and I refuse to go. I don’t want to be rude to her as I have to face her daily when September comes but I just want to enjoy my time off without thinking about work!
Am I being unreasonable to think she shouldn’t be contacting me at all or is she right that I should be available if she needs me?
