My job held an Impromptu meeting with our small team (eight people) of customer service reps. They announced the company is requesting at least three people “volunteer” for overtime on Saturday to try and get through a backlog of work. They didn't say how many weekends they'd be doing this.
It was prefaced that it's not mandatory, but also asked that those who don't volunteer say why they are unable. Am I wrong in thinking they have no right to that info? Why I can't do overtime is not the companies business, and guarantee they will guilt trip anyone who doesn't do the overtime, using it against us performance reviews.
I've been told I shouldn't complain as it's extra money, but also that it's BS and not to volunteer. What do you all think?
