I have to manage my team for a few hours every night in-between supervisors duty cycles, we were getting slammed with issues one night and one junior coworker messaged me about something serious.
Without thinking I called her on teams without asking first, when she answered I heard a baby crying, once I found out it was my call that woke him up since he would only sleep in her lap I felt like crap. I ended up taking over the issue from her out of guilt and have never called anyone without asking again.
I never just get called on teams, they always ask “are you available for a quick call?” first.

Where I work people just call if you show as available. Imo this should warrant extra hazard pay.
No one in my office does that but this new VP they hired is “trying to change the culture” I want to die
There’s one guy at work who refuses to warn people. Like hell, no. You can wait while I try to find my headset.
I had one guy that would always no warn call me, and I would immediately decline it and ping him “what did you need?”
