Amen, been there, done that. I couldn't take a **** in peace, without being beeped. In fact I carried a second one in case I did not respond to first one. After I retired, the mere sight of a beeper unnerved me.
In the twilight years of career, I switched to a cell phone that took a message and responded with a get back to you message. Since my geological coordinates were not trackable on the early models, I could play hide and seek.
But not be outdone, executives sent runners to the those of us trapped in the men's room to announce and inform us "The Boss is having a meeting in 15 minutes - Get your *** in gear".
Finally I'd like to get my hands on the guy who invented posted notes. Upon to returning my cubicle space I found a multitude of them stuck to everything in sight.
yeah before I worked in IT, I worked as a clerk for a gov’t housing authority doing fair market rent calculations. I would keep up on policy but because my sub-prime co-workers were jealous of my accuracy, if I took a day off, my cubicle would be covered in post it notes. Turns out my co-workers would scheme to “get” me while I was gone (ala Adam Schitt). I would go into the manager’s office and explain each.and.every postit note “why did you calc it THIS way??!!” armed with the most recent policy changes.
I eventually left due to the fraud and being told by my manager to “keep the checks rolling and look the other way.” They also decided to black ball me long after I resigned. I can so sympathize with President Trump! Took 21 years for karma to catch up. They are now being indicted on over 50 counts of fraud, lying to the gov’t. you name it!

I had to change my career to IT after that experience.
