If your boss won\u2019t respect your time or pay you for it, they shouldn\u2019t be shocked when you stop picking up the slack.<\/p>\n
So, what would you do if your employer kept pushing you to work overtime but refused to pay for it, then punished you for tracking your hours too well?<\/p>\n
Would you keep going above and beyond?<\/p>\n
Or would you stick to your schedule and see what happens?<\/p>\n
In the following story<\/a>, one healthcare worker faces this exact predicament and has had enough.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n I am in the midst of leaving a truly terrible job.<\/p>\n I have only been there for a year, but began noticing issues after the first month.<\/p>\n Now, this is in healthcare, and we work with very vulnerable people.<\/p>\n I have seen some horrendous ethical issues and a lack of competency among employees and my employer (e.g., permitting clinicians to perform tasks they are not trained in, recommending treatments that are basically pseudoscience).<\/p>\n Not to mention my employer has no respect for boundaries or work-life balance (which are essential in this field if you want to avoid burnout), and has horrible work-life balance, time management, and organizational skills themselves, leading them to be behind on all work constantly with over 2000 emails sitting in their inbox.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The incompetence started to affect daily operations.<\/p>\n This also resulted in much of my work being delayed, and clients getting upset that they are waiting for things that the employer needs to do.<\/p>\n Because of this incompetence, I get constant emails and texts asking me to work on off days, or my employer texting at 8pm or 7am and expecting a reply.<\/p>\n I have set very clear boundaries from the start that I don\u2019t work outside my hours, and have also raised concerns about the ethics\/competency issues, which resulted in my employer becoming defensive and emotional, and changing nothing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Now, she\u2019s no longer allowed overtime.<\/p>\n Since giving my notice, the employer has been pushing boundaries even more.<\/p>\n So, being the compliant human that I am and because I do need to wrap up things that I have been waiting for my employer to get to for months, I began responding and including every single work-related communication outside of my hours or requests for a \u201csmall task\u201d that I need to complete on an off day as hours worked, and I have banked up some nice overtime.<\/p>\n Last week, the employer sent an email saying that I am no longer allowed to work overtime, and every hour worked OT will be banked as vacation time instead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The employer is making things even worse.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t want that, because if I am working OT, I deserve to be paid for it.<\/p>\n So I immediately stopped responding to anything after hours or on off days, and have been working only 8 hours on my scheduled days.<\/p>\n The frustration and passive aggression coming from my employer since I did that is unmatched.<\/p>\n Truly, they should get an award for the snarky and condescending emails and texts they have sent me.<\/p>\n I only have a few days left and will be filing an ethics complaint for the many egregious things I have seen once I am out of there.<\/p>\n It\u2019s what they deserve, and I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Wow! Workplaces like this are the absolute worst.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s see what Reddit readers have to say about it.<\/p>\n This person thinks they know where she works.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s someone who suggests she turn the place into the appropriate agency.<\/p>\n That about sums it up.<\/p>\n According to this person, it\u2019s more than just wage theft.<\/p>\n She should turn them in.<\/p>\n It sounds like this place does everything it can to cut corners and save costs.<\/p>\n Thought that was satisfying? Check out what this employee did when their manager refused to pay for their time while they were traveling for business.<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\tCategories: STORIES<\/a>\t\t\n
