I'm amazed by the number of people with egos so gargantuan they think that they are receiving individual calls from individual employees who explicitly picked them out with full knowledge of their work/sleep schedules. People. The employee has as much say as to when you are called as they do what color underwear the company president wears. If they didn't work there, your call would just have been bounced to a different employee instead. You are acting like the same kinds of belligerent jerks who scream at baristas because company policy won't let them make change for a $100, or personally attack whoever happens to pick up the phone when you call to complain about something someone else did. And the best part is when you decide to go into histrionic fits without even actually taking any steps to assure it won't happen again (like requesting to be put on the company's personal DNC list, as law in several countries requires them to have). Even preventing the problem takes a back seat to your own self-righteous fury at someone who, gasp, dared to take up a job offer, during times where jobs are very scarce and precious in many parts of the world. That person might have a family to feed and might have no other offers. But no, for that one glorious moment you have one person on whom to blame everything wrong in the world, and no amount of logic or human decency is worth passing up a chance to drop trou and steamily void your bowels on another human being who wants to call you as much as you want them to call you, is it?

7am, Levvy... Seven-*******-AM!!!!

So you authentically DO believe the employee chose this? Is that what you're saying? And that being a testy jerk is going to "teach them a lesson" and make them not do it again? Edit: What the crud? My original reply has somehow gotten attached to the wrong post. It was on the one advising behaving like a dick right below this when I first put it up.

To clarify: Hanging up is 100% legit and avoids wasting the caller's time and yours both. Acting like a jerk like the poster below was advising is what set me off. There's nothing uncalled for about just not being interested and hanging up.

calm down dude. jeez.

My lengthy rant was meant to go in reply to this post. Somehow, after it was posted, it migrated upward. I am not sure how.
