Literally kills me. “What you’ve got video games and jerking off to do? We really need you to cover this overtime”. Verbatim from my chief awhile back. It’s not like he’s wrong… but come on man. I pick up a good bit of OT as it is before being personally asked.
I’ve been in Management for the last few years, some teams were 60+ people and some were only about 15. Your chief is a dick that needs to get their hands dirty. Any boss that isn’t willing to respect the time of their team, whether on the clock or off the clock, doesn’t deserve to be a boss.
I knew the hours of everyone on my team. I never gave a shit if you had kids or a party waiting for you after work, what you do after your scheduled hours is up to you. If I didn’t have enough employees for the work we had, that’s my problem and not yours.
Well I have a girlfriend who lives with me and has for 3 years. Everyone knows that and always busts my balls for not marrying her yet. My chief was really just fucking with me but it was 50/50 funny and annoying.
Tell them you got other people’s kids to watch so they can go to work, someone has to be part of the village. If they press you on it then ask them for their availability because lots of families need free babysitter.
Hell might even make them hesitant to schedule outside of ability
When your boss knows, that you don’t have kids and not married.

Eh. When your boss has four people in the office to do six people’s jobs, and the VP just said they’re cutting headcount by two.
