After her action, the woman went viral on TikTok, as many users identified with her case because some of their bosses force them to answer their phones outside of established working hours. Therefore, the Canadian woman made the decision to put an end to her problem and block her boss.
The worker identified as Vanessa told the story of her employment relationship with her superior, since he began to write outside of his work activities about pending tasks or to complete a job, for which it made her uncomfortable, despite the fact that she was not at home due to medical leave.
Vanessa indicated that she had two telephone numbers designated for work and personal issues, so she kept the first one after returning from work, but despite this the phone kept ringing, so she decided to block it.

Many users who were able to watch the video commented that they identified with his situation, and applauded his action, justifying that people’s hours and time must be respected.
“I don’t blame you, he’s not your friend and you’re not working”; “Girl, all of mine are blocked because they don’t respect anyone’s limits. I love to see it!”; “Your company should pay for that phone”; “I would tell Human Resources because there is no reason for it to have your personal phone number,” the comments read.
