Yeah this exact scenario happened where I used to work. The only time it's an inconvenience is if we're all in person for a tech summit or something, but having the personal contacts of a few co-workers let's me check in on any plans I might have missed.

Nowadays my phone is too old to even run slack, so I'd require work to buy me a new, separate work phone anyway.

But truth be told, it's amazing being unreachable. I logged on to the work slack today Monday morning, and found out that the company had an all hands on deck show stopper bug last Friday ~1730 lol not for me it wasn't. I was walking my dog enjoying the brisk winter air, completely oblivious until I logged back on this morning to read the postmortem. 😌
