- You know Seb, you gotta login this Saturday from home. There's an incredibly busy week and the management would need to know daily data.
I said nothing with a puzzled face. The boss continued:
- It's not just you, your colleagues from our rural support centers in Asia will work too. They have even agreed to work during the night but of course we will not ask you that, a normal 9 hours shift would suffice.
I was getting annoyed, these so-called reports were nothing fancy, just some excels with a couple of figures and graphs to keep management happy. But what can a resource do?
- Of course we can't pay you overtime or extra but I can assure you we will consider this at your next yearly evaluation.
Oh, I thought, probably I will get a few slaps less if I keep up the good work. A raise was a joke, a bonus even less. You always heared how bad it goes for the Corporation and how we all have to make sacrifice for the greater good.
- However for being such a good sport you can come on Monday a little later at the office, added the boss smiling. Not too late though, we have lots of work to do!
