It's not as if it will ever pay off. The only thing one can hope for is to be worked to the point of exhaustion, ditched and replaced. Working hard once made sense. Putting in some extra effort opened doors and created opportunities. It's pure masochism these days. What is it? Fear, habit, delusions that it might help you keep the job?

Had to train replacements because I could do location strategy and all ended up leaving within 6 months of them taking over. It could have been entirely avoided had they let the original crew stay on and be a little more lenient on the wfh deal. Business would have been unaffected if they had.. so not only yhe lose experience they are even in worse shape than thry were before.
They don't like it either when you use an accommodation to keep working from home, even though it's federally protected.
I won't receive any compensation but I may have a little chat with eeoc about a particular experience.
@b9 take up a side hustle that makes you passive income. Dont work so hard.
WF has morphed into trash company with a very toxic culture where leadership treats workers poorly ant every turn, and workers respond by having zero trust in leadership. I where we’ll pivot to when the next scandal hits since it’s only a matter of time. Can it get any worse than this ??
@c5
Yup,
3 days a week I am hourly, 2 a week I am salaried. And of those 3 days in, I get less done than if I was WFH. Can't stand where they have me reporting in office. Friggin tiny stall with all the noise, sh---y monitors, dopy people I don't know yapping about sh-t should be listening to according to WF, etc.
If it goes to 4 days in, I am out. I can afford to do that.
I realize other LOBs may be different but I dont know of anyone who has worked any significant OT in years. If you are perhaps youre doing something wrong.
Funny how exempt employees are being manged like they are hourly employees through in-office mandates, but then expected to work like salaried professionals to get assignments done. It's all 1-sided in the company's favor.
I do it out of fear. Need a paycheck and afraid of being let go. Also have a crazy work ethic that seems to be hereditary. I realize I'm being d-mb but can't seem to help it.
I stopped overtime and going above and beyond when Bridgette announced stricter RTO and at the same time keystroke monitoring. They want robots. I do enough now, nothing more. I also don’t speak up everytime I’m forced to hear plans to off shore that they oversell by claiming full automation when it’s not and holes in the plan. I don’t care anymore. It’s just a paycheck for now.
Oh I stopped OT once it was clear the only plan in tech is to get rid of people. There is no future in that dept so they don’t get any above and beyond. Why would I be extra stupid and work even harder for no benefit. You pay me what you said and I will do what I said, no more no less.
If only Wells Fargo would follow FLSA rules.
@OP I absolutely do not work any overtime. Do my 40 hours and I'm done. I refuse. My family is more important.
Who is foolish enough to work OT? If I can’t do my job in 8 hrs then either I’m not good at said job or I have more than 8 hours worth of work and it will be resumed the next day.
I’ve only ever worked OT for extra $ and then only when I wanted it for some specific reason
