Forced overtime is costing them a LOT

At the beginning of the pandemic. Corporate asked us to open all the offices doors (+200 doors) in the morning and close them at night so people wouldn’t have to touch door knobs.

Obviously, nobody wanted to come in one hour early and leave one hour later every day.

They pretty much forced me to do it.

But there was one condition.

I said I would of they paid me the overtime.

They accepted. Probably thinking this would be over in 2-3 months.

I think I’ll just continue to do it until someone tells me to stop.

Wow! That worked out really well for OP! That’s a lot of extra income just for opening and closing doors everyday!
