I have signed up for OT on boxing day and I am shocked to see the amount of cases I have been assigned with. We do not take calls on holidays but we have to work offline on pending cases and my company wants me to work on 100 cases in 8 hour shift. I mean I understand I am getting paid time and half, but this insane amount of workload feels unfair and unrealistic. I am regretting my choice now.

Do you like working on stat holidays?

I don't like working them (but I do, almost all of the time) because I am salaried. I'd be all over that stuff for time and a half. But yeah, there has to be a reasonable workload. I mean, unless most of those cases involve a review and a close-out, seems excessive. Good luck. Happy Boxing Day.

I've worked on holidays over the years, but I never ran into anything quite like that. I'm guessing some genius in management assumed it would be a slow day so people could do absurd amounts of work. You're right to be regretful, it sounds like you've been handed quite a bit more than what you signed on for.

The holiday pay is the trade-off for me coming in on a holiday. I’m not working double for it. I’ll come in and do what I can, but asking for something unreasonable is taking advantage, in my opinion.

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti
