The issue has become that I am now harassed by scheduling to a point of crazy psychotic ex-girlfriend territory. Repeated calls that breakthrough any do not disturb at all hours including the middle of the night. Today I got three back to back calls with three voicemails all from the same scheduler within 2 minutes. And this seems to just be their playbook now. Is there any recourse for this? Instead of just doing a do not disturb for sleep I’m now having to turn my phone completely off just so my wife and I can get a full nights sleep. Other than doing scheduling’s job and self acknowledging, is there any way to keep them from being absolute heathens with phone etiquette?
I’ve been a “phone completely on silent at night for all but important family contacts” person for several years now. “Allow repeated calls” and “intelligent breakthrough & silencing” are disabled as well.
There’s no reason to let Delta or a telemarketer interrupt my sleep ever, unless I’m on short call. The hotel phone gets unplugged on layovers as well. If it’s important enough (never has been), someone will knock.
