I wish that was true, but this afternoon, my manager asked why I didn't respond to the texts. I said I was sleeping when they first came in (which isn't completely untrue) and that I didn't know the young man who passed away so I wasn't comfortable responding.

I'm guessing the underlying issue is that I don't want to be FORCED to do something I don't want to do / see value in. While I understand I have to make concessions when I'm being paid to do something, participating in optional meetings or communications on my personal phone after work time don't fit into that equation. This place just isn't a fit.
