I’ve had a week off annual leave and come back today and been completely bombarded by 2 colleagues whilst I was away, ringing my phone multiple times a day following up with a text message etc….. and the minute I’m starting back at work I get a further 2 phone calls from them trying to get hold of me, not even giving me a chance to switch my laptop on! This was not an urgent matter either!
Has anyone else ever dealt with needy desperate colleagues that need everything done yesterday!?

Been there. It's wild how some people can't wait a few hours. I now block out my first morning back just to catch up in peace.

That’s exactly what I do, so frustrating. I don’t get why they can’t just leave a message if I don’t respond and I will respond when I can rather than just constantly ringing me I find it rude.

Yes I have been there many times. I don't answer them until I am ready to work and I do not answer on my off time. You are not about to hard time me when I am enjoying my annual leave.

Yes exactly that, I just find it more of a principle thing as I’d hate to have called someone and I didn’t know they were off but I wouldn’t have constantly rang them!

I wouldn't even take my work phone on holiday. Leave it for the big boss's to deal with if it can't wait.

Yeah especially if it’s an urgent issue, no need for the constant calling.
