IDK why people are so much against the possibility of working extra hours, it is generally voluntary
In the VAST majority of cases if you want to keep the job and advance you shut up, smile and take the hours. Just because is it is optional on paper doesn’t mean shit.
As someone who has also experienced this frequently, YOU are the one dead wrong. Every time ‘optional’ overtime has been ‘approved’ by the upper management, the one guy who turns it down gets mysteriously let go for some inane reason and when I expressed desire to not work the extra hours, I would suddenly get worse assignments, management would be ruder and one time I got called in for a meeting for my ‘attitude’ problem and told everyone else was putting in more time, I should too because it makes everyone else angry at how lazy I am.
This has been in every company I have worked at that has done this
Wow, major cultural difference then. Are you in Germany?
