lol my GM offered me some weekend work saying I could get time in lieu for it...but my direct manager (below GM) is a stickler for that kind of extra curricular work just being an extension of your professionalism; i.e. you should do it just out of passion for work. I've attended trade shows on weekend etc. and this often comes without so much as a thanks.

Direct manager is somewhat of a bully who often tries to overrule the GM himself.

We have no HR manager or Patrick.

What do VWL?

[emts]

my next weekend that I'm not working is after christmas.....

no cash, no TIL

All just part of being a professional at times.

Reply in email to DM stating that as per GM request you would like to take up the weekend work in exchange for TIL

All comes down to having clear goals at start of year. If the weekend work enables you to achieve your KPI/goals then its a tough situation as it can be used towards/against you at your performance review.

Weekend work tends to be classed as 'development opportunity' or as evidence in showing the right behaviours towards the business. (which again could be a factor in your performance review)

My boss told me from the beginning that if you want to achieve an "above expectations" ranking you would need to work on breaks if required. Days in lieu offered though.

The many differences & challenges between a job & a 'career'...

[emts]

Ther eis that, when I was on a much lower salary then yes OT/TIL was always offered.

and I chased those Public holdiay/OT hard core for some extra $$

but yeah once to get to a point it kinda expected to be included.

I might not get TIL but I get to work from home often so when we not busy I'm avalible if needed but I can have a nice cruisy lunch with Katie, or work on the car so long as I answer phone if something crops up.

so it all works itself out over time.

Actually getting the TIL isn't so much an issue for me as taking the TIL and giving my DM the perception that I'm unpassionate / not a team player / unprofessional / not willing to put in the hard yards. A colleague in the same department as me concurred something similar and knocked back the work from the GM - he's scared to ask for sick leave let alone TIL, because our DM has these expectations that unless you're dying you should be working, you should arrive at work before the expected start time and stay long after the expected home time etc. and that your weekends should be spent thinking about work.

We really need an HR - there's not one person who has anything nice to say about my DM and most of these people do not work directly for him like we do. Company wide reputation as a bully.

so lets slip you interviewing and thinking of leaving...that could only end well

I think once you reach a certain level of pay or role within your company then the title and remuneration fairly compensates all the extra work you put in and this is expected by both employee and employer - all part of that wonderful word "salary", unless you're a tradie...

But my DM is on about 150k a year and I'm quite far from that - if I was on his salary I'd fill my weekends with work no problems. But I'm not, so I have all the downsides of the professional career and hardly any of the perks (work from home, bonusesand reviews based on exceeding KPIs etc.). Staying until 5:30/6 most nights and that not being recognised if I'm 5 minutes late on one day doesn't sit well with me either.

actually from that I would be interviewing and moving on.

hostile environment plus that nah bugger that.

either that or knock off your DM and get his job (and ask for a pay raise over him)

could be worse. you could be chef again.

though by now you'd probably have a tv show.

my experience with HR is they provide f**k all. its a place to lodge complaints and handball situations, knowing they will never be resolved. and also good for subtle threatening for people who are not acting professionally.
