I really don’t understand why some companies expect employees to finish work-related tasks on their own time without paying them for it. My husband often gets assigned computer-based training that he’s supposed to complete outside of work hours, and there is no pay for it. I always tell him how frustrating that sounds, but sometimes it feels like there’s not much you can do about it.

Does your company make you do something you hate it?

Not at all, I'm frustrated for both of you. Our mandatory trainings are mindnumbingly dull, but at least we're able to do them on our own time. I would be livid if I had to sit down to a harassment training refresher as soon as I got home. No one has time for that.

Exactly. Why should we give our personal time to our job and get no pay for it. It sounds ridiculous.

I don't agree with that at all. If you aren't being paid for it, then you shouldn't have to do it. But when you are salaried, that is the kind of stuff they do to you.

I guess his company is the only company who does that. Even i get paid for all these training programs from my company.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm.

For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.
