Bbbut we're a "family"
Now go work overtime
Just recently I got a job offer where I had clearly stated I'm willing to work a maximum of 80%. When I went there to take a look before committing to it, they mentioned that because of the high amount of orders they have, they need everyone to put in an extra hour of work every day for the foreseeable future and I'd be expected to do the same.
My thoughts: Hey asshole, I even told you I'd prefer 75% and that the maximum of 80% is for health reasons, and you're here trying to push it to 90% on the sly?
Obviously I rejected the offer. And then they had the gall to report to the unemployment office that I wasn't willing to work the 80% they advertised as their minimum.
Edit: Good news was that I was able to land an all around better job just two days later.
Good thing you didn't stay, that kind of behavior was probably a pattern there
“Can I get family overtime?”
no your kids died last year remember?
