Managers be like 🤣

If a job is weird about overtime, you are at the wrong job.

“No.” Is a complete sentence. The moment they say they’re not authorized to pay OT, the answer is, and always will be “no”. I don’t need a reason, I don’t need to explain. The answer is no. Go away.

"Mutual Benefit" is a key phrase there.

"We're all having to pitch in a little...". Great! Then you can pitch in a little overtime pay.

If you are an hourly employee, working extra hours and not recording them is often timecard fraud.

I love Veronica, the character.

Management not arranging adequate resources is not a reason for me to work for free.

She is so great at pointing out this toxic garbage!

Dude! These skits r sooooo accurate! It's funny on one hand and yet sad on the other because employers really be doing this crap! 😂😮

The staff you’re not paying is where the overtime money comes from

If you're asking someone for a favor you really ought to work with them to help them get their own needs met as well as yours. It takes low social skills and A LOT of nerve to ask someone last minute to stay late and then be like, "no, you can't make up the time when you need it, only when I say so."

I love this. I accommodated a manager last week by coming in 4 hours later than my scheduled shift. She lied about what I’d be doing and sent me home early. I helped her out and as a result got stuck doing something I hate and lost an hour and a half of pay. I’ll be getting very clear answers about what I’ll be doing and for how long before I do anything else to help her out, and if it doesn’t benefit me, I won’t be doing it.

It's not only because the manager gets paid more with a salary, it's also her being on a salary means she will get paid the same amount of money whether she's at work or not. They pay them salaries because they know sometimes they may have to work unusual hours. If there's some kind of company emergency, they can call the salary worker into work at 3:00 in the morning but they can't do that to an hourly worker without paying them additional money. So her saying it doesn't make sense for her to stay because she's on a salary is exactly the opposite.

I'm willing to work if im getting paid

If your job is not willing to compromise on what you need, you cannot step in when they need.

Had a convo like this. Said "Capitalism 101. You want work, I get money.

"We all need to pitch in a little more" "Yes, so pitch in a little more OT"

Whenever a manager says "We need people to pitch in"... They're not only about to ask for labour without compensation, they're sliding in the thin end of a wedge that's going to have you quitting sooner or later. Your employer has never gone into a bakery and expected to leave with free bread. They've never filled up at a gas station and expected to drive away without paying, Why do so many bosses imagine they can treat employees any differently?

Sha already has an appointment Friday, is already coming in late...duh.

I work for a large corp. You work OT, you get paid OT (union rules). If it's not approved, you still get paid, but the manager gets yelled at for requesting the OT because they were inept at getting the work out on time. Basically, if the company does not want OT, nobody works OT -- except the exempt, salaried guys (like engineering). They can be forced to do anything and fired without warning and with no rights. Companies hate unions because then they can't just stomp on people as they would prefer.
