to ask about work stuff? what about if they phoned you at 11pm on a tuesday?

3 months is surely to long non?

Tell them to fuck off.

5 minutes is too long imho. Not your problem any more.

i'd pretty much agree

but certainly 3 months is far too into the future


and 11pm?

wtf.


sactly


Why are they calling you?

Do they miss your chat?

Reading above that it's for work related matters you should cut them dead immediateley.

If they have a problem, and noone else can help then they should hire...

A replacement and leave you the fuck alone.

11pm phone calls are a joke. Noone should have that invasion of personal time from theire work anyway and seeing as you've left makes it all the more outrageous.


Draft up an invoice

and bill them

My old work kept calling me up, so I emailed them an invoice. It soon stopped


really?

brilliant.

this really wouldnt work tho


Maybe as I'm self employed

with my own limited company it worked.

Although as a permie it might not

Still though, they should shove off. You left months ago

I could understand a few weeks after, that might be acceptable. But after that, bugger off


I would say 1 month after you leave max

And no phone calls, only emails. That's more than fair.


Next time

Give them really poor advice that will fuck them up big style

Then move house and change mobile number
