Do... do you not understand the concept of malicious compliance?

Really weird that you seemingly take the side of the boss.

As an IT professional with 20 years of experience, and I'm management, the employee was 100% correct when he ignored the problem.

Such a bad take. The boss need to learn, and this was a good way to teach them.

It’s called malicious compliance. The person who made the initial decision to ruin everything learns what they ruined in the worst way possible. They’re not doing it to avoid work, but to teach new boss a lesson on why it’s kind of important that they have their personal phones at work.

I wouldn't have answered. No personal phone on work hours, no work calls on personal hours.

Sometimes you have to let something fail so they will see it’s an issue.

Its malicious compliance. No phone, he wasnt alerted to the issue because he didnt have it, even if he saw it theres no proof other than the post and if its from an alt they cant prove it

He was making a point about a ridiculous policy. I agree that it's weird you don't get that.

The boss is a jerk. I side with the employee. Don’t expect double standards. The boss indirectly said they expected the IT guy to carry his phone despite the fact the rest of the company can’t. The email said no exceptions. If this didn’t happen and the it guy had his phone he could be written up for being prepared becasue it’s against the rules.

we're IT. Any issues requires a ticket, even a major outage. Exceptions would be if we're contacted directly by phone and told to work on the issue while the reporter creates the ticket. If we work on that issue without a ticket, our ass is on the line.

if I'm not told to fix something I'm not fixing it too many times I've seen people get in trouble for taking initiative

I’m making the assumption that he technically didn’t notice it and only knew the problem happened at 4:45 because he got a text and then later shot the first call was at 4:45 and then when called back was told about the issue so an assumption can be made that the issue came about around 445

Are people really disregarding the fact that some places you have to have your overtime approved? And if you can't get a hold of your manager to approve it working after hours may not be paid
