I don't believe that is what I said. I don't have people on call and I don't call people 24/7, I was being rather vague. You have no idea the kind of work I do or the demands of my employees. I do however need to reach them constantly while they are on the clock. Since most of my employees spend there day out on the road it is vital that we have communication. If you think that there is a better way I would be very interested to entertain your suggestions. Your assumption of my attitude to the rights of my employees and the expectations I have of them is not very accurate.
