They were emails expected to be responded to immediately. Serious job consequences for not. Currently, I cannot access work email from home. I would prefer to keep it that way.
Yes...all 2nd level managers have blackberries for this very reason. To hell with that I say. I'd rather make $20k less for the abiltiy to disappear. I have a cell phone, but if I don't answer it...it doesn't matter.
IDK, 20K is a lot of money. It may not be that intrusive since in order for you to receive an e-mail another gov't worker waould have to send it. Gov't workers do not work past 4:40pm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
