I heard Azzerae was 26 horses? I find that interesting because I enjoyed 26 horses before they got banned from ellgab.
I am not a fan of working overtime either. Once I worked in a factory where it was mandatory. For like a month straight I was working 10 hour days with one day off. I ended up getting one of my wisdom teeth pulled out so I could rest a little.
Why were you ears plugged?
I am glad you get enough time to post on ellgab.
That is an adorable avatar! How cute! My ears were plugged from a bad cold that lasted 3 weeks, and during the worst of it I was working 12 hour shifts. Someone was burning near the work site, and the building ventilation/filters couldn't keep up with the pollution, so I got bad asthma on top of the horrible cold - it was just awful for weeks. Mandatory OT is bad for families. I worked mandatory OT for 3 years, and the result was that I completed 5 years' worth of work in 3 years. Some of it was mandatory (weekly amounts), but some was optional. You found a harsh way out! Once, I wanted to plan the same surgery. My scheduler expected me to be right back. I told her I'd need my sick time. She disagreed. I decided to delay the surgery because she was so uncooperative. Did you go on personal time? Sick time? Or just take absence?
Right now, my employer requires OT a lot, but then they don't give us any hours at all and when you average it out, it's not even half time. Naturally, I'm looking for better work. And get this - they want employees to refer friends to work for them - lol. Maybe someone who just wants a few hours.
