I was hired 8am to 6pm Mon to Fri. After working at this company for a little while I find out they expect I stay longer. They do not pay me for over time. I told my coworker I am willing to do over time at home but she insists that I should finish work at the office. To not leave 6 on the dot but a few min later so the bosses don't say anything. My instinct is telling me to stick to my boundaries, leave on time and only do overtime when TRULY needed.

Stick to your boundaries. It’s unfortunately clear your coworker doesn’t have any.

Do you get a 2 hour lunch? Stick to your boundaries. You are there to work, earn a check and go home. If they aren't planning to pay you, then you should go home.

I hope this includes a one hour lunch

8-6 is a long day in the office, and I like my job and do work OT as salaried but dang…. 8-6 every day?!

Yah I’d stick to boundaries, even if that means using white lies to make it sound like it’s out of your control. You have other commitments you have a family you have to attend to and be available for right after work, ect, whatever it is… I’d use it bc you signed up for 8-6, which is long enough, and if it wasn’t disclosed pre-hire that OT is expected then that’s not on you.

Is your pay commensurate with a 50hr work week?

I used to be a happy guy, then over the past 5 years of being in public accounting I’ve gradually turned super cynical and hopeless. WFH has definitely added fuel to the fire because I’m super outgoing and vibe off of others. I’ve been actively looking for a new role but nothing good has come up for 6ish months. Any tips on how to get through the rest of busy season? I’m really struggling... to the point of almost crying daily. I told my manager and the firm doesn’t give AF apparently.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken?

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids.
