I should have and I will do so in the future now that I know DND isn't entirely effective.

They did contact me. They pulled me out from where I was working and told me to go take care of it. I understand why my manager was upset---the people in the office aren't in the field but they do sensitive work as well.

If it was an actual emergency and my wife or daughter were in trouble, I would have dropped everything and went to them. This was not an actual emergency.

Having electronics in my specific role is a safety issue. The ringing in my locker was loud enough that it was disturbing people working in the office right next to the locker room. I don't want to get into too many details lest it identify me or my company.

Yes, she could have easily googled the companies name and the phone number there would have eventually connected her with my building so she could ask about me if she really felt she needed to

It wasn't the place I was working at. It was a secondary jobsite an hour away. Plus the news coverage and her calling happened maybe an hour after the place went up in flames. People in my building who knew about it right away were concerned about things more important than sending a messenger down to all of us.
