As soon as i hear that new notification/new message chime on a phone in public it's like it activates some type of deeply rooted dread deep inside, like a weird PTSD caused by years of work in the corporate world
Yeah, same here. I am "on-call" pretty much all the time. Thankfully the people that would "On-Call" to me are respectful outside regular hours and only call me during true emergencies. I get called outside business hours maybe once a quarter.
But the thing is, I know when they call, things are really bad. So when I hear the Email or Teams sound, my blood runs chill. Most of the time it's just some server update notification or something but it gets me tense every time because there's always a chance.
