Companies should show professionalism and shouldn’t call their former employees without a valid reason after they have left the job.
In today’s interconnected world, our phones have become an essential part of our lives. They keep us connected, informed, and entertained. However, what happens when our phones become a source of relentless annoyance? This is the story of one individual who faced persistent calls from a former employer, testing their patience and pushing them to the brink.
In the realm of late-night shifts and independent living facilities, OP found herself caught in a whirlwind of frustration. Assigned to a 12-hour night shift, OP enjoyed the simplicity of her duties and the ability to connect with the residents she cared for. However, her pleasant experience took an unexpected turn when a new employee was hired, resulting in a disruption to her carefully crafted schedule. OP left the job but they didn’t leave OP. They kept calling her until 3 years after she left. Follow the story below to witness the unwavering persistence of these unwanted calls that plagued OP’s life for an astonishing 3 years.
OP is sharing an “I don’t work here” story about an employer instead of a Karen:
OP worked for a shady home care agency, assigned to an independent living facility, with responsibilities including med reminders and housekeeping and experienced numerous questionable incidents.
OP’s hours were cut, leading to loss of benefits, but she took a full-time night shift at an independent living facility where she and another girl alternated 12-hour shifts, 4 days one week and 3 days the next, from 11 pm to 11 am.
OP’s shifts were given to a new guy who consistently showed up late or not at all so she started searching for a new job. When she tried to submit her two-week resignation, she faced difficulties reaching her supervisor and the office was unexpectedly locked, so she left her resignation in their mailbox.
OP endured persistent calls from her former employer for 2.5 years after quitting, despite repeated explanations and complaints to higher-ups. Her breaking point came with a 4 am call three years later, leading her to angrily contact corporate and demand they delete her number:
OP clarified in an edit that she used a flip phone during that time and faced technological challenges, making it difficult for her to block or prevent the unwanted calls.

How can a simple act of resigning turn into a years-long battle against unwanted phone calls? Companies should take measures to ensure that former employees are not subjected to such persistent harassment. These issues bring to light the need for better systems, policies, and communication channels that protect the rights and well-being of individuals even after they have left an organization.
