Toodaloo!

More workers need to adopt this type policy. The "company" has no loyalty to the employee...

"If my work hours have expanded to an expectation of 24 hours/day, my contract is only for 8 hours/day and will need to be renegotiated."

Yes yes YES. RECORD THOSE CONVERSATIONS. Even if it's just typing it out, having a paper trail is important

[Bobywan]

If I'm expected to be reachable at any time, I'm expecting the on call compensation that goes with it even if I end up not being needed.

In the mid 90s, when Blackberries came out, the Partners at a large Law Firm voted NOT to require Associates carry them in off hours. The Partnership recognized they could not control themselves in off hours. Was reported in the American Lawyer Magazine.
Sadly, not the case anymore.

Loved that you started taking notes and her response was... Silence.. Ha. Great video!! ♥️

I would love to see you add a new set of scenarios for IT workers and here is why. In the mid 1960’s large companies started lobbying the government to make IT workers exempt from overtime rules even though they were not management thus making them unable to receive overtime. Because of this and that computer systems run 24/7 the on call became part of an IT worker’s life. Before remote access that meant getting into your car and driving to work at all hours and working until the problem was solved. (I have work 37 hours straight on this type of issue). Then in the 1980’s again large companies saw the rise of the independent contractor who demanded to be paid for hours worked so they had the IRS state that this type of worker needed to be incorporated but they had lawyers and accountants excepted (rule 1706). I have had a client page me in a casino in Vegas, leave a message for me at Disney World and a resort in southern California. With remote access so common today the travel impact is minimal but the 24/7 attitude is still there without compensation. I find your skits very much to the point. Keep them coming.

At least it’s going to be illegal in California soon, hopefully this spreads to other states as well

I recently sent an email stating inappropriate behavior from a supervisor, spoke to corporate HR who assured me it would remain private, but now that person along with other managers are giving me the cold shoulder. I continue to do my job to the fullest regardless of their attitude and feel justified that in my current role I am not to be challenged or insulted again. Thank you for encouraging me to stand up for myself! 😊

[SimonGreen]

I once had a coworker get visibly angry when I started writing notes whenever he spoke to me. I always sent them as an email afterwards 🤣

[JaneCurtis-vkfq]

Ahhh! The quietness that occurred when she found out all that was being said was being put into an email. ❤❤❤

I have a rate sheet for being on-call. It goes in all my contracts. The next line is an option: "We decline on-call services" and we codify the next-business-day thing.

[Rapscallion]

We really really want that extra 2 hours of your day!

Well, I really want that extra 20 grand a year.

Can you see a way that we could both get what we want?

[PBL]

These amazing videos got me through a really difficult time in my life. I didn't know if I would make it through. But them i stumbled across this woman, spending her time acting opposite herself...and i just knew i had to keep pushing through the pain. Thank you so much. ❤

[Sarah_Grant]

Even my parents wouldn't call me at these late hours ffs. 😒😒😒

Last time I checked: emergencies are reserved for family. And unless you came from my parents' union or blood/in law, the office family reunion will be 9-5 per scheduled. 😊😂

Several years ago, I worked for the federal government, and I learned really quick the "game" of CYA. Cover your a$$. Document EVERYTHING!!!!

[EnbyWriter]

You tell ‘em Haley! Also, if you want the cherry on top? Send the transcripts to the big leagues e.g. CEO, main manager (Yes I’m aware it’s a skit, but come on, it’d be interesting and funny to see the boss’s reaction unless this is the main manager/CEO then time to quit with such a toxic environment)
