I used to work for a company where I had a ‘Beeper’ on me 24/7, and had to come in to work, 30 miles away, at a moments notice if something broke down.

“I used to work for a company where I had a ‘Beeper’ on me 24/7, and had to come in to work, 30 miles away, at a moments notice…”
A place I work tried to sneak that in on me. I’d been there a year when a co-worker, not a supervisor, handed me an alphanumeric pager saying “it’s just so you know what’s going on”.
3 days later the damned thing went off and I didn’t respond. My supervisor started giving me crap about not responding. I handed it back to him on the spot.
