Guided Casper - Professional Boundaries

Context:
A tenant approaches the maintenance person at his apartment complex in the middle of the night with a list of repairs he needs. He is confronted for the inappropriate timing and the handyman is very upset.

Question: Imagine you're working in a hospital, and you urgently need help from a colleague who is off-duty. How would you handle this situation?

A

I would contact my colleague, explain the situation and ask if they could come and help. However, I would understand if they didn't want to or couldn't, as they are off duty. I might try to look for someone else who could help, but if I couldn't find anyone, I'd just wait for my colleague to return to work.

B

I would first ensure that reaching out to my off-duty colleague is truly necessary. If so, I'd communicate with respect and understanding for their personal time. I would clearly articulate the urgency, while also valuing their unique contribution to our team. If they were unable to assist, I would accept their decision gracefully, maintaining our professional relationship. Meanwhile, I would strategize alternative solutions, involving other team members if needed, illustrating the importance of collaboration in our work.

C

I'd probably just phone my colleague straight away and tell them they need to get to the hospital as soon as possible. They should understand that this is part of the job, no matter if it's their time off or not.
