ewerk 29506 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) If they aren't paying you the extra hours, then why are you doing them? That's what happens in a lot of salaried jobs. Edited August 4, 2010 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19343 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 He gets a decent wage aye for what he does. Its not like other script jobs hes had though where he has a lot more freedom, a lot of it is dictated by the producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it 'commitment time' in management speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Look ahead six months. If you're being dumped on repeatedly in order to get your idiot boss out of the shit, then you need to pick your moment to make your point. If you have an upcoming holiday for example, there's no point kicking up a fuss now when in a few weeks he'll be fucked anyway because you're not in the office. You will have shown your value by your absence. There's no point in tolerating this for any lengthy period, at least not without making others aware of what you are doing, by the sounds of it he'll be out on his arse in 6 months and any brownie points you might think you have earned will vanish into thin air. Equally any promises he makes you regarding pay are equally worthless as he probably won't be around to see them through. Most worryingly is that repeatedly poor managers being put in place suggests those above them are no better. Don't bother getting HR involved. They will attempt to draw a diagram or ask you to write your feelings down on post-it notes and put it on some kind of emotional axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should of course sit up and take notice if he is losing good staff over the shite. Ultimately their inline managers responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19343 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 He was sound about it, we had a bit of a laugh and asked if there is anything that would persuade me to stay. Getting rid of XYZ would help, but didnt say that. Pastures new, looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
