On my way home tonight, sitting at a red light I noticed that my bosses boss sent me “hi, can you talk?”
I spent the next 20 minutes of the ride home trying to think of anything that I said to anybody that could have been misconstrued into God knows what. I get home and reply “I can now.”
It was a question someone had about our specific uniforms (scrubs) and under which heading I was able to order them under.
“Hi, can you talk? I have a question about your uniform.” Would have been so much kinder lol.
I swear bosses do this intentionally. It gets brought up so often in various places that it would be impossible not to understand the effect it has on their employees, and they get off on it.

The true appropriate response, unless you’re being paid to be on call, is to wait until you clock in the next day, THEN respond.
If you’re not being paid to work, why do it?
