    I was not aware that mandatory overtime was a thing.

    Seems kind of shit. Means that there is potentially no limit for how many hours they could make you work, and it’s obviously not healthy.

    I’ve worked in a company that allowed overtime before but it was all optional. They would be like “is anyone willing to work this holiday?”. Depending on how low demand was, you could be paid up to double as much on those days.

    It was a manufacturing company so running the line is crucial to revenue.

      It’s a set amount of overtime. People work a minimum of 4 12s, with no maximum (their choice). All shifts are 12 hrs.

      It’s not easy, for sure. Pay is great tho for what it is. We do holiday pay and stuff too, yeah.
