Do you feel like you always have to take shifts when you are asked to? My boss told me someone needed to change their schedule last minute so she asked if I could stay a half hour late. I said yes partly because I felt like I had to even though today is my husband's birthday. It wasn't a big deal this time , but have you had times it was a big inconvenience?

It’s more like when you become the go-to person because you’re too reliable (I’m working on that) so they assume you’ll say yes. Don’t make it a habit to jump it-I can say from being in this industry a while that without fail it 👏🏻Always 👏🏻gets 👏🏻figured 👏🏻out

Yikes that's just unethical honestly.

There are 2 days of the week that I have in stone to nothing extra acceptable. My principals knew and for anything needed other days , I didn't mind, but as long as they didn't abuse the trust and took advantage of me helping out. 30 min max per extra help not a pb.

That's a really good idea! Setting boundaries is so important.

I don't mind helping out if I don't have anything else scheduled. It does open the door for paid extra things sometimes.

Right, and I'm grateful for the hours most times.
