  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

The real payment is all the traumas we got along the overtimes

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Hah! You got overtime? I just got trama and toxic managers.

In a better spot now, though

At my previous job they had a special term for unpaid overtime: "Professional time"

So glad I'm no longer working there.

“Professional time” sounds like a euphemism for wanking off on the clock.

Unpaid overtime probably (which would be a hard no from me)

We got straight banked time off in-lieu. It was bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

True, but better than the places that expect it for nothing in return

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's a crock. My first corporates job did that to us, and then never approved the paid vacation requests, let-a-lone the banked time-off we were promised for being such good cubicle slaves working above and beyond, and it is all legal because "exempt salary employee"

Hah, cubicle. Not to shit on you, but that would have been much preferable to my situation. Seasonal environmental field work - 300ish hrs a month from May to November
