To not work overtime?

[CarmellaH]

I've been working for a major supermarket for just over a year. When I got the job I was very honest about my availability.
I'm frequently being asked if I want overtime and it's getting to a point I feel awkward keep turning it down. Everyone else seems to jump at the chance for more shifts.
Aibu to barely ever do the overtime? I help out in the busier periods like Christmas and Easter so it's not that I never do it.

There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to do it unless it’s contractual overtime, but they have to offer to everyone really as you say others jump at the chance

I wouldn't worry about it. Some employers forget these things and also they know people's schedules change so they ask just in case you want to do it. Don't feel bad turning it down, you can always remind them that you'd prefer to just do it around Christmas etc

It sometimes feels like I'm the only one they are directly asking. Other colleagues have to ask for the extra hours themselves. Making me stressed keep having to say no.

eventually they will stop asking you.
my dh earned well and the home was a complex machine to keep running and he/me/we decided early on that i would do zero overtime.
that's not to say that in cases of emergency i did not stay an extra 15-20 minutes or that in the case of disaster (retired nurse so a major bus accident or apartment complex fire type situation) that i would be unavailable.
but i had over my entire 30+ year career a total no OT policy.

Don’t give it another thought
I used to ask everyone to make it fair even though I knew 1/2 the ones I was asking would say no
