Salaried hospitality manager hired under a 40-hour expectation but consistently working 50–55+ hours due to scheduling, extended closings, and operational changes. Director of Ops said my contract may be updated to the company “standard” 50 hours — but with no increase in pay. Feeling the workload no longer matches compensation. Is this common? What’s the best way to advocate for fair pay or boundaries, and when does it make sense to explore other options?

You're probably misclassified under the DOL as exempt anyway. (If so, could be due back pay for overtime, etc.) Companies like to misclassify workers thinking they can get overtime for free but if the person isn't actually doing higher level exempt things, it can subject them to fines and backpay for it. I highly suggest talking to an employment lawyer in your state.

I wouldn’t say it’s common, but I’ve definitely seen it happen. Basically, they’re just piling extra work on you with no extra pay. If they aren’t willing to compensate you, I’d start exploring other options. Sounds to me like you’re being taken advantage of.

Hate to say it, but this happens a lot. Salary and you’ll “mostly” work 40 hours with a rare exception. Next thing you know, that exception is weekly. Try to outline that this isn’t what you agreed to, and you are open to a solution. If they aren’t receptive, explore other options. Has anything else changed or been misleading?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.
