When I used to manage people (for a call center) I would do that but via text. I didn’t wanna catch anyone off guard with a phonecall where they agree to it without realizing they already had plans or something.
I also always tried to stress that this is optional, if there aren’t enough people, that’s on us, and we should have prepared better.
I see someone else read this NY Times article today. Wild read, I was trying to get things done around the house and it sucked me in.
Edit: OP posted the article in another community, can’t believe I missed it. https://kbin.melroy.org/m/[email protected]/t/411895
