I don't understand people working overtime. You sign a contract of typically 40 hours/week. Anything over that timeframe you can reject. Trying to force you or threaten firing you over it is not particularly legal. Showing up in court with a few emails demanding overtime goes a long way I would wager.
Further, I would really like people sticking up more for themselves, putting up with this nonsense normalizes exploitation and makes it worse for everyone.
- zhemao 9y agoNo company would be stupid enough to explicitly tell its employees that they must work overtime or be fired. Instead, they create an environment in which you feel social pressure to put in more hours. People choose to work long hours because they get affirmation for it from their managers and colleagues. It's a cultural problem.
