The real horror is that the person panics when they can't find their phone. They are just chilling at home, they know the phone is somewhere in the home, they don't need it right now and they don't have to leave anywhere.
The phone will turn up. It's just a gadget, you won't miss it if it's gone for an hour or so.
(I may be jaded from misplacing stuff so frequently)
As someone who has been on an on call rotation plus randomly called for things specifically revolving around things I manage at work for 19 years now, i am jealous of being allowed the sense of freedom from the phone. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but she will never get this feeling... I hope one day to have a better job that isn't working for a place that is open 24/7...
Oof, that's rough..
If it's been 19 years and no change in sight, it seems it's up to you to create the changes you're hoping for.
