I’m a contract employee that works Tues-Thursday from 10/2. Employer pays 2k per month. The person I report (Supervisor) to has no finesse and can be quite blunt and rude when requesting projects. This weekend she harassed me Friday through Sunday to review a report that she did not get to me until Saturday morning. The last straw was when she emailed me this snarky response “this is my third request for confirmation that the billing report is OK let me know when you have reviewed ASAP. “
So, I emailed her back and CCed the CEO the following:
I’m sorry you have been inconvenienced by my late response. As you know, this is outside of my contracted working hours if you’d like to loop CEO in to discuss expanding those hours I would be happy to. “
From CEO::
I understand this is outside your scheduled office time. Of course, month and will not always fit in that schedule. Please take the corresponding hours off this week Tuesday through Thursday to account for the time spent on month and this weekend
Dear CEO,
I have agreed to be at my desk for the specified contract hours of 10 AM to 2 PM Tuesday through Thursday. I have also made myself available to check email, answer calls and complete any work on Monday and Fridays if needed and adjust my hours accordingly.
While I’m happy to help out on Saturday and Sunday if there is an urgent matter and appropriate previous notice, I consider the weekend my personal time.
(and i’m not sure how to conclude this email, can anyone help? I need to establish that I really don’t want to hear from them on weekends.
