Honestly, I would say you’re on a reduced schedule and cannot do the extra hours for personal reasons and the team that isn’t on a reduced schedule needs to step up, including the partner. I would work your hours and continue to make it clear to the team that these are your agreed upon hours and you’ll be available during those hours. Reduced schedules are hard in this profession and there are a lot of people that do not respect it .
You need to learn to set boundaries, like everyone else said. It’s honestly pretty simple to do so.
Stand your ground and say no. Companies are quick to let you go. Plus, you will not be compensated enough for the extra time you put in
Right. I do need this job to pay bills 🤣 so I guess I can't simply say no though I'd love to if I can afford to do so
Agreed, if you don’t respect yourself others won’t respect you either
You are being exploited. Complete your timesheet for your actual hours and wait for someone to ask questions. The minimum compensation should be time off in lieu at some later date.
Slavery was outlawed over a century ago in most places!
Yes, the grass is greener if you’re able to exit public accounting
Feel free to message me and I’d be happy to share my perspective. Note that I’m in tax and not audit, but you’re in better shape because it’s easier to move on from public with an audit background rather than tax. Regarding the grass being greener, all I mean is that in general, on the whole, private is greener grass than public. WLB is better, there are usually no time sheets so time is not tracked, you usually don’t need to sell or bill to clients, the hours are usually much better. Of course every place is different but on the whole exiting public accounting is a usually a huge quality of life improvement whether audit or tax
If you are on a reduced schedule, you should not be putting in those type of hours. I am guessing you agreed to have reduced pay for the reduced schedule. Despite the fact that many of us accountants are risk-averse, you need to speak up on this.
