I am soooooo mad right now. What reason? I just heard my coach saying that we have to render one hour OT. I hate people forcing me to do something that I don't want to do. Overtime is one of them. I mean I will render OT when I want to (which is never) so don't force me.
I used to go for OT, heck I volunteered for a 6-hour OT (that is 12noon to 6pm) and the fun thing about it is that I never got any calls because in the US that's early morning or in Filipino madaling araw. And for that one time I felt normal going to work when the sun is up ang going home when the evening comes.
Unfortunately, when payday came my supposed 6 hours OT has become 3.5 hours, where did the 2.5 hours went? It was fixed eventually but I got traumatized after that. I avoided OT's whenever I can.
But they keep on coming. Sometimes it pays off (my coach makes it a point to do so) but the dread of doing OT is still there.
Yesterday I turned down an OT request from one of the managers on duty. He was pleading already but I said no in a firm and edged voice. Thank goodness he gave up.
OT is a way for one to get promoted but being forced to do one is unreasonable.
In my former job whenever there is a request for OT it is the operations who are turning down agents who want to do overtime because we are too many. In my current job WE are the ones who are turning the management down for overtime.
They better fix their accounting or the resignation rate would go up, up and away!
