Would you rather work longer hours just to ensure you received a full check (see below)? (Page 2)

Question

So my current job likes to give you the Friday before AND the Monday after OFF for these “weekend” holidays (like Christmas Eve/Christmas and New Years Eve/New Years). Kinda silly but hey, I’ll take it. However, if you haven't been working there for at least 10 months, you don’t get paid to have the holiday off. So instead of working at least 40 hours a week, you’re working the days that we’re open. You’re forced to take the days off but you can makeup some of the missed hours by working longer shifts each day for the next 2-3 weeks. Would you work the missed hours (to total up to your 40 hours at the least) or would you just stick to your regular shift which is being cut thanks to their made up holiday days?  My Answer These checks bout to be lookin iffy with only 24-32 hours on them lol. But since this job pays almost double what the others did, half a check is almost a full check from my last job (when including all the money I lose to taxes per check). So I see no reason to work extra hours at a job I dislike. I will absolutely stick to 8 hours and enjoy my upcoming days off. I DO NOT miss working 12 hours at the job before last, in which I ended up making a little less there than what a full check here can offer in 8 hours a shift. 😂 #FeelFreeToList

No, they can pay me what was agreed upon or they can do it themselves.

During the holidays and summer is when I can work longer hours so I’d rather do that because my job hasn’t been scheduling anybody on the weekends and I barely have been getting any hours

It just depends on my circumstances at the time really. Do what’s best for you

No and the people who do this should have their basic human rights stipped from them because they are clearly okay with being slaves.

Wage cucks deserve the rope. They are making the world worse for the rest of us superior real humans

10 months? I have a 90 day probation, after which employees qualify for all paid holidays. Accrual for sick time and vacation starts on day 1.

Personally I would just as soon have the extra days off.

I usually work 70 a week and do 100 if required, with that and inflation related increase to the minimum wage I make maybe 20% of that

AimeeKyle · Answer

I have many times in the past. As I get older, it would depend on what the trade offs are / what other options I have or missing out.
