So……. My employer asked me to go on third shift. When I said I would do it, but I needed to be compensated for upending my life, because it would ruin my social life, my sleep schedule and I would never see the sun again they had a shit fit. They kept repeating the mantra that I would get a 2 dollar an hour shift premium. However, I already get the same shift premium for second shift. There is no extra money for third shift. The guy couldn’t understand that I wouldn’t get more money for going to third shift. He finally told me that HR wouldn’t give me anymore money and if I wanted it I needed to go to HR to work it out. My response was I’m not going to third shift without more money, and if you want me on third shift, you need to go to HR and secure the funds for me to go to third shift. Otherwise, I’m not going to third shift and this conversation is over. I’m not exactly sure why these people think they are going to get something for nothing. This is a free market economy, and the product I’m selling is my labor. If you want me to do a job that no one else is willing to do, then you have to pay a premium for it. They want all of the benefits of a free market economy, but none of the drawbacks. Once you explain this to them, they go full blown Karen.
