    People actually have their phones not on mute!?

    A lot of us have, because we use them to communicate synchronously. I get why many people don't, but it's not like it were only boomers.

    Besides that, I get money for being reachable, and use that to buy food and stuff.

    So do I, but having a phone != available for communication all the time.

    Well, yeah that's what my work phone is for but I wouldn't ever install private stuff on that, and also my above point. And it gets turned off when I sign out.

  • Same for me, but besides work, I communicate with friends and I am there for them if they need me. My phone is muted at night and work is only when working or when I'm on call.

    Last week the garage and my complex burnt down and me and the neighbors are helping the people without homes and cars. I'm available for them.
