Hi everyone! I'm the youngest in my team, and they always make me work on holidays and weekends. They say it's because others have families and kids, and I don’t. Sometimes they give me time off or...

I would just look at your contract and talk to someone in HR

No I didn't mean it that way. No your time is absolutely valuable, the way I grew up with this issue is yes ppl with kids usually get holidays off. I... didn't say it was fair to do. Just usually how it works. 🤷  more

Check your contract. But are you low man on totem pole? Like are you a new hire compared to others on your team? If so, I would say( only because all... jobs ive worked were like this) yes you do work the holidays. Especially if you dont have kids and the others do. I know that seems unfair as when I was younger I also thought that. But as I grew older and had my own kid, I understood that completely. Besides Holiday pay is great lol. But check your contract and talk to your supervisor and see what can be done about Holidays and maybe rotating holidays with all employees. As far as overtime pay, I would absolutely be talking to my boss about that, unless your contract states different in Washington state it's illegal not to pay overtime, but there are exceptions so you need to look at your contract and go from there. And you can make a family at anytime of day or night 😁 more

I know working with family can be a bad idea, so I told my sister right away that I wouldn’t hire my nephew in my department. First, I know he’s careless. Second, I don’t want to keep letting him off...

I had to fire her less then 6 months later, for showing up at work still drunk from the night before. Before I hired her I told her. We cant be best... friends at work. Im your boss and not best friends. I have to do what's right for company or I dont hire you is what I told her. Im from big island of hawaii where everyone knows everyone so I had to fire her and she absolutely understood why and we are going on 45 yrs of being beat friends 🧡  more

I had to fire my best friend yrs ago. I agree that hiring family is a difficult thing, especially if they are unreliable but dont jeopardize your job... for anyone. Stick to your guns. If your parents are mad, then just explain yourself if you would like to. But at the same time there is no need to explain yourself. If your parents or anyone want to act like children then let them, you can't control that. All you can do is control yourself and live your best life.  more
