Took a Stand Against Mandatory Overtime and Won

Feeling proud and a bit shocked. I work in a call center, notorious for its 'mandatory' overtime. After a particularly grueling week, I was scheduled for yet another Saturday shift. Enough was enough. I approached my supervisor—not with a resignation, but with data. I showed the impact of constant overtime on our team's health and morale, backed by articles and a well-being survey from our own floor. I proposed an alternative schedule with voluntary OT and shift swaps. To my disbelief, they're piloting the idea!
