Stop answering the damn phone

I've been in the same situation quite a bit. There comes a time when you need to just say no (if you're not in a position where you're required to pick up shifts) or you'll burn out. Self care is important too!

this sounds a lot like my work place.. maybe we're co-workers?

security right?

I feel your pain at work Im the one they always call up to cover shifts and i can't not just answer the phone because then I feel guilty if they are short staffed.

Omg, that is EXACTLY how I feel every time I need to say no.

You can say no, you know.

If you're the kind of person who has a hard time saying no, just switch off your phone when you're off duty...or don't take the call like someone else suggested.

They call you because you say yes. They take advantage of those that go above and beyond

Try calling the other people, or talk to your employer
