I'm a regular but have namechanged.
I work in a role with 'normal' office hours. I'm responsible for quite a large budget, of which a considerable amount is spent at a weekend (involves retail without being too outing).
Lately I've been having to log on and do a little work on the weekends, which is unpaid. Today my employer told me they are not happy and want to formalise weekend working.
This will be in the form of two hours each weekend day. It will be every other week alternating with another colleague.
In exchange for this they have offered four hours off during the week. There will be restrictions on when I can take this.
My concerns are:
1 - I already work lunchtimes, late nights to get my work done. The weekend workload will be an addition. I cannot foresee any day where I would be able to take back four hours.
2 - I don't see the weekend work can be completed in this two hours and worry I'm opening myself up for constant requests for work all weekend
3 - It means I'll work 7 days a week
4 - If will mean my whole weekend is disruptive and four hours back doesn't seem enough compensation.
When I raised these points today I was told
I was being difficult. I requested my manager set up a meeting with HR and was told to stop being disruptive.
WWYD? Is this fair?
