Started this new factory job, needed more money and was sick of retail. When I did my interview and training with a small group, HR told us all that OT was almost always optional and only mandatory in times when production had to be high. Come in for my second day on the floor and am told “yeah next week is all 10’s, OT every day, these last two weeks are the only 8’s we’ve had pretty much all year”
One of the guys I trained with called HR and respectfully said “hey it would have been nice to know that it was mandatory more often than not” at which point HR said “yeah it’s overtime almost all the time”
I’m going to tough it out cause I need the money but point being, never trust HR
