Should i protest at my workplace if my senior is unneccessarily pushing me to stay longer at workplace ???

Answer 1

Do not protest in a manner to hurt your senior. Tell them politely your problems if stayed longer your output isn't going to increase. And could be that you have the potential to work extra time, he might be wanting you to stay longer, and unnecessarily you can tell him politely when he is in good mood.

Answer 2

Ah yes, the old comparison that you are only as effective as the number of hours you are shackled to your desk is still as popular today as it was for ninteenth centry mill owners.

This is a difficult one. Do you have a contract that states the hours you are supposed to work. If so then you can raise that issue and if the work is mandated outside of that contract then in 'theory' you don't have to do it.

In practice of course this paints a bad picture of you with management but if this job is just a stop gap then you might not care about that.

You could also put in an overtime request for all the additional hours to your HR manager if you have one or to your senior's boss, that should shake them up as they will realise you take your time seriously and they cant brow beat you into unpaid overtime.

Is there any possibility of going to a union or some form of adjudication where you live? There is probably some form of legal advice center that can advise you of your legal options.

At the very least, if you decide to go with the flow and do these hours then at least push back a little with a statement such as 'Okay Bob I'll stay till 5.30 but you do realise my day is supposed to end at 5pm don't you'.

Make sure to do that every time an incident like this occurs so that your supervisor realises that you are well aware these requests are above and beyond your paid work tasks.

Answer 3

First thing to do is check your employee handbook and see if overtime is elective or not, with or without notice etc. Then the next time the situation occurs, you are armed with the necessary informatoin to protest with. If you have no handbook then a general rule of thumb is that overtime is elective unless given two day's notice.

Answer 6

Burden of proof lies on you to prove that you are unnecessarily forced to remain in the workplace. It all depends on the job conditions agreed upon by the employer and you. You have got every right to question if you are ill-treated.

Answer 7

I think u should protest but pls do it in a more peaceful way. However, if it's only like 10 to 15 mins per day, i think it's alright.

Answer 8

if you are getting paid to stay longer then maybe it is not too much of a big deal. However, if you have other obligations or you are not getting paid to stay longer you must complain and let whoever is in charge know the situation.

Answer 9

Yes. Tell your personnel manager or union rep.

Answer 10

Sure, just plan on looking for a new job.
