I know what I'd be telling your Boss Kylarama and it would be Merry Christmas.

The big boss (CEO) is based in QLD (I'm in Vic) so interaction with him in minimal.  My GM  (my 'real' boss) I enjoy working for, so the good out weighs the bad.

I did respond to that email informing them that where I holiday there is not reception.  I even offered to divert my phone to the CEO's, just in case

Still get questioned every so often if I saw the email when asked is I saw that email sent last night... nope, sorry, bad reception where I live thanks to Optus .

Then at Christmas time the CEO send a mass email to all our clients informing them that even though we are shut for 3 weeks, if they have any questions or problems not to hesitate to contact the project manager, as they are available 24/7 during the holidays... What the!  Thank god where we holiday there in no Optus coverage   Sorry boss, that'll teach you for being a tight wad with the phone system.

O aren't that bad. Ill organise for your coverage to be fixed. Where are you )

Sure do, but the phone also doubles as a private phone.  One of the perks!
I run a few jobs that go through weekends and sometimes nights, so I take calls from foreman and subbies time to time.  They only call when it's important!
My point was more about email at your fingertips being a distraction.  That's why I turn the data off and when I'm out of range the phone is off.
