Had to sit down with my supervisee and let him know he couldn’t do extra hours anymore. For the past week he had been staying 1-2 hours past his time. I had to let him know that he couldn’t do that as overtime was authorized. He argued that he wasn’t doing it to get overtime. He just felt like he needed to get more done.
I had to explain to him that we work 7.5 hours, you get done what you can in that time and what doesn’t get done will be waiting for you tomorrow or Monday. He still pushed back saying it was hard for him because he was coming from a job where 60 hours was the minimum expectation. I spun it as “aren’t you glad you don’t have to do that anymore?”
Also I had to explain we are in a union environment and if they got word that you were doing work off the clock, it would be my head if I knew it was happening. Even though I am also a union member.
Kids these days with there go-getter attitudes. Makes me sick to think about doing more than 37.5 hours in a week.
