What the hell does mandatory overtime mean. That’s just your regular hours then. Is it a way to make your salary look better as it’s for the hours you’re supposedly working?
I’m hourly so I get paid OT. But as the other commenter said, it’s easier and cheaper to pay OT than to get the building properly staffed and risk having downtime. Winter is slower so we work 40. Summer can be anywhere from 40 to 60.
It’s a culture problem. My job has mandatory overtime. They say “if you don’t like it, you can find another place to work.”
But… every place in my field will say that. So I don’t really have an option, do I?
