Me and my foreman use the company truck to drive to a job 1.5hrs from where we live. We were alerted that we need to do a service call 1.5hrs back towards where we live. Our normal shift ends at 3:00, he says we need to leave our current jobsite at 2:00. I ask “why 2? We should be leaving at noon to get there in time and do the work before 3:00 comes” my foreman says that “we are technically going home so we shouldn't be getting paid” I told him “no we aren't going home, we are going to another job site, why should I volunteer my free time to drive to another job, and end up finishing and getting off around 5 with no overtime?” He says “well I don't see it that way, what difference does it make, next time you can just drive yourself to the job so you can make it home to your hockey practice or whatever you do”. When he brings my personal hobbies into an argument then I become furious, so I told him “if we are going home at 2:00 then you might as well take me home at 2”
So that's how my day is starting, how are you?
