right? and they didn’t tell me they’re renovating for “about a week” and they don’t know exactly when… and want me to me buy this special apron, and shirt, cough cough this place loves eggs…

So i’ve been working at my current factory job (don’t wanna name drop them yet) for about 4 years. when i first applied, during the interview they asked if i’m able to work overtime. No mention of “required overtime” Now randomly they’ll have my department working basically 13 days straight with only one day off. I usually get upset about finding out i’m working both saturday and sunday when I had no scheduled day off during the weekdays. I’m not sure on how to go on about this issue. Management clearly only cares about making money for the company, as I had voiced my concern about that once and they mention “stopping the lines costs us money”

im on a 35 hour contract and my shifts are 10 hours each so i do 40 hours one week and 30 the next which ones added up is 35 hours a week. i can pick up overtime if i wish but theres no pressure to do so. I have so much more free time in the week now i can actually do things i enjoy. ive been doing 5-7 days a week since i was 16 and only recently switched careers completely and moved to nights and honestly im so much happier

I could go on for days about this bullshit but I'll stick to the past month. My company has a policy that if your internet goes down you'll be compensated for the time frame when you come back and inform your team lead or supervisor. My internet went down. I called my team lead. She, not understanding technology, I'd assume, insisted it was not and that I was just avoiding calls because my login hadn't timed out in the system yet. She angrily goes “I'm done with this conversation you will not be compensated.” Last week I was informed i need to acknowledge write up for “unapproved overtime” and I told my boss the latest I worked past shift was 4 minutes on a call at the end of my shift. By the time I checked my system there was no write up, because I had in fact not worked…
