hidden overtime

just a story i figured you all would appreciate – I worked at as a hotel front desk person for about 9 months last year, after having only ever worked in manufacturing my whole life.

I would leave at the end of my shit, come hell or high water, and whatever happens after that isn't my problem.
Needless to say, after three nights of the desk being empty for about an hour each night, I got yelled at. “We're a family! It's everyone's responsibility!” No, no, it's yours, as the boss, to make sure the people you hire show up. Not my problem. (I quit and now do a hybrid WFH)
