Anybody else sick and tired of the MANDATORY overtime - sqt

Posted: Jun 05, 2012

I appreciate the work, but 3 months of mandatory overtime is taking a toll on my back, neck and hands.

I would give ANYTHING ON EARTH to have OT - anon

I honestly don't know why they let entire REGIONS of employees sit day after day after day with no work at all while other regions have mandatory OT for 3 months straight.

I don't get it.

I was OT all the time, but moved to another BOB with no work. - MT2

And I am tier 3. Really annoyed about it. At least with mandatory OT you don't have to worry about being short on bills, etc. We aren't paid much but it is something. Now I sit there waiting like in other jobs. I have never thought it would be like this. Because my account was moved to another CCM, and now often nothing to do but twiddle thumbs and worry (again). Be lucky you have more than you can handle. Many of us out there wish we had more than enough.

Just don't do it! - Carley

I have never and never will plan to work mandatory overtime unless I want to. I have been here for years and we get MOT emails all the time. 95% of the time I do not work it and nothing happens. Take a break! Tell your CCM you are not available this week. What do you think, they will fire you? Not going to happen.

I have been working mandatory OT for 3 months too. Yes, I am thankful that I have a job, but enough is enough!! To the MT that refuses to work OT, and does not respond to their emails, don't be so sure that they would not fire you... everyone is replaceable. Remember, you were hired on with an "at will" contract. You can be fired anytime, for no reason at all. Unless you have another job, don't tempt them.

Just say NO. It's up to the CCM to schedule and staff the accounts appropriately. - She is not doing her job. NM

Wish we had any kind of work, no madatory OT here, that's for sure. Lucky you.

Have not had work since last Monday. Bits and pieces. Some get OT. Why not give me a backup account that has all that OT for when my measley accounts have nothing. Or, how about taking someone off my measly accounts and moving them permanently to the OT accounts. How hard is this?

Could the suits be so devious as to require mandatory overtime so it temporarily boosts income so they look like they are paying a living wage? Or is there just a supply/demand problem? I did check into mandatory or forced overtime. It is legal as long as it is not causing a safety risk and there are 16 states putting restrictions on forced overtime. Alaska, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Isl ...

I am sick of "mandatory" overtime! I know I should not complain b/c alot of you MTs out there are out of work and would gladly trade, so I hear ya there, but we are not notified of this OT until midday or at the end of the day, especially on Fridays, and we are not asked to work OT. We are told it is "mandatory." Okay, I understand back log and TAT and all that, but even though we are employee status with a set schedule and I work 6 days a week as it is, maybe I have plans and would've work ...

I work second shift, so, due to the time change from PST to CST, after 10 pm my time, the last hour of my shift shows up as the next day. I worked 1.5 hours this morning and then my regular 2:30-11 pm shift, so I figure I should be paid for 1.5 hours overtime, but my calculated time (I recently discovered this on the current time card page) shows me as only getting credit for 0.5 hours overtime with 8 RT (Regular time) + 0.5 OT hours showing up on Sunday and then 1 hour showing up on Monday as ...

I know when I call in to have work assigned (OT accounts) they always ask what kind I want. I usually just tell them "Whatever" and they confirm I do all work types, say thank you and away we go. Now I am wondering. Seems like after we have had OT on my accounts the next day there is a MUCH higher than normal ratio of crappy dictators. Are the people working OT the day/night before allowed to choose to not do those dictators? I had one of the support staff th ...

Not only cut in pay, it seems like the OT is no longer time and a half. I can't believe the amount of money I have lost. Anyone know how they figure overtime?? Also, I seemed to notice that whenever we complain about FIESA, like about them picking short reports, it seems to happen even more. It makes me think they probably read this forum too and get a good laugh out of it. Sorry, but I tend to believe they resent us because we make more money than they ...
