It's 5pm I want to go home.
Yea. People are working themselves hard. I think some people are worried about their prospects or they really love their job.
It would definitely be the prospects. I've worked with companies that do have a good balance though.
Yea. There are nice ones. Just that there're more bad ones.
The nice ones probably have more competition and don't need to hire as often since the turnover would be low.
That's true. I got an email from a company that I interviewed with a year ago. Before I set up an e-commerce website. And they have all three roles open again. Turn over maybe... What do you think?
I don't think most companies need employees that badly. They just want more for extra growth.
They aren't closing without them.
That's a good point. Could you explain in more detail?
I mean they can still operate without hiring more people.
Just that they might not have as much output.
Oh I see. That makes sense. Thanks for explaining that in more detail.
My boss makes a point of telling us he doesn't pay overtime. When I first started I was staying until 6-8 PM. Absolutely not worth it.
Not paying overtime is pretty normal. But staying that late definitely not normal
But did your contract have that clause which states working extra hours to get the work done?
