I've been "on call" for over a decade.

If I go anywhere more than walking distance I take a laptop.

yeah it's shitty, but other than the CEO I'll be the last person to lose my job.

I spent a decade on call.

The last few years, they would call and call and call...

I wouldn't answer though

I generally do the same. It doesn't have to be my work laptop, mind you, just a laptop. Usually my personal laptop.

As long as it's in a reasonable walking distance from me, I'm good. Eg. If I go out for dinner, I'll toss my bag in the car and I'll leave it in the car unless I get a page.
