@OP Boo Hoo… are you able to pay your bills? Then there you go.
@kw Are you saying slave to the office 24 hrs a day is expectation now Elcio? That’s not normal.
@kw if not 40 hours weekly then what is the expectation?
Salary is not 40 hrs a week. I don’t know when that expectation changed. Look at your grade level and have common sense.
@cm This! It is your choice to speak up and play it strategically or be a doormat. Do not get bogged down by implicit threats (you are lucky to still have a job especially given the current market). Give your best for 40 - 45 hours as is the contract and then switch over to protect your time.
you're not alone. doing two department jobs with no extra pay. been doing that about couple of years and yet they think no information is being leaking? lol uphold "ethic" deez nuts with this company

Don’t allow yourself to be overworked - clearly communicate that you can do A and B but not C and D, or A and C but not B and D. Ask your manager to prioritize your tasks so that you’re getting whatever they think is most critical done, and then there are no surprises as to what you are not doing.
You only have 40 hours. Document everything. Look for other jobs. Too bad the market is terrible.
Yep! Layoffs in my org and I was called to support another group that’s not even part of my role. Having to skill up on this temporary assignment while doing my normal work.
