Why are you working at all during what was your commuting time? You weren’t getting paid for those 7.5-10 hours before, so you’re in a worse position now unless your pay increased commensurate with the extra hours. That should have translated into more personal hours, not more working hours.
- steveBK123 3y agoI took on a role with earlier/longer expected hours, but with the agreement I would do it remotely. And yes it's for a lot more money, not just an extra 10-20% for the extra 10-20% hours.
- mrweiner 3y agoAh, good on ya!
- steveBK123 3y agoTo be fair though, my previous role I found the day got longer during/post COVID because senior managers suddenly felt empowered to schedule meetings earlier and later. In some cases, it was getting brought into more senior manager meetings I previously wasn't privy to, that had always been too early (7-8am). In other cases, it was moving those same managers goal posts because they'd always been online early and hey if you want access to them, the only place to find time on their calendar was like 8am or 5pm. I know A LOT of senior IC / team lead people who fell into this trap during COVID.
