Nothing ever comes good of it. You don’t get rewarded. You don’t get praise. You may get a bit of extra money but is it worth it ?
Every story (including some of my own) that I’ve read here about people being willing to do their boss a favor and come in on their time off or come in early it backfires.
They’re treated badly. They aren’t given any leeway. They are treated worse than a regular standard shift
The reasoning behind this is, if they’re calling you in they’re currently fucked on staff rn and are desperate. So you get no special leeway. No breaks. No ability to call off, ect.
It’s like coming into a burning building and if you don’t douse the fire you’ll burn with it.
Never do it !! Ignore those calls and text messages. “Oops ! Sorry. Didn’t see it. I was busy!”
