Q: Is my military supervisor allowed to order me to use my personal cell phone for work purposes?
My supervisor continuously Txt's and calls me on my personal cellphone for question that are considered normal work related purposes ie. did you get that paperwork, I need you to move desk, ect and not just for the even of a recall or an emergencies.
A: I see this as an Anti-Deficiency Act problem. If you feel strongly about it, contact your local Trial Defense Services office or Area Defense Counsel, and ask them to assist you in raising this issue to the command's JAG or IG. Listen carefully to the advice they provide you about going down that road prior to taking action.
