My partner (26M) works out of town all week. It's hard being home by myself but whatever I get over it, we need the money. His job is so unorganized he STILL doesn't know who his boss is. Everyday they have him do something completely random, but hey at least it's not a “boring” job. Anyways, upon his agreement he would have weekends off. There was nothing mentioning extra time required, or even special circumstances in which he had to stay extra days if required. There was no information about compensation if he did have to stay a few days longer over the weekends or anything, other than a pat on the back, regular pay and an extra day off next rotation. How is that “ok”? You work 11-15 days in a row to get 1 measly extra day off and REGULAR PAY? There's no OT requirement in that province. (yes Canadian) I'm SO angry, we don't get time together as is, and now they are pulling this stunt?
It's funny because everyone knew about this except my partner! He just found out today! So he's saying fuck off every time cause he didn't agree to working extra for laughable compensation. He may get fired but he has another job opportunity lined up worst case scenario. I want him to quit immediately, but the pay is decent compared to other jobs in the area.
Remember folks, you have this life now. Live it. Don't sacrifice your body, mind and soul to a job that could care less about you.
