Disclaimer: this is a burner account so my employer can't trace. The company I work for is a large (4k employee) R&D consulting company. The management structure is very flat: 1 EVP, 4 GMs, 20 Directors, 60ish Managers. The management structure, metrics, and culture reflects a 'turn the crank' type of operations; all employee hours are logged and management very closely monitors operational efficiency metrics like % time on project vs non-project down to each employee each time card. There is micromanagement of budgets, forecasts, strategies, etc from all levels of management. This creates an unhealthy underpinning of a lack of empowerment and trust for any front-line manager or individual employee.

I work part time at 25 hours a week, and I’m scheduled for 8 hours in two back-to-back shifts of 4 hours. So I’m working enough to earn a 30, but not able to because it’s over 2 shifts. This has never happened before, is this allowed? It’s doesn’t seem above board. Edit:mind the awful misspelling of “strange”

I’m not sure if anyone in this sub Reddit can relate, but I did a commercial for a very big, nationwide store last year. It was a principal role, and the pay was very good. I am not yet in the screen actors Guild, so productions do not have to adhere to union guidelines. I have spoken to my agent, and they seem to be doing very little. What do I do?
