Hello, just looking for some advice and opinions here on a situation i have going on at my workplace, i am an automotive technician and we get paid flat rate (you get paid for the jobs that you do, not per hour) so you have the possibility of finishing your pay periods with a good amount of hours (50-60) when we work around 40 hours, most of the time at least, sometimes it’s less.
anyways the issue is that we are kind of a smaller mechanic shop and we’ve built a pretty good reputation over the years and work is REALLY picking up these past two weeks, we are booked out for around a month, we can’t really take any more work until we get these other customers taken care of, so our boss wants us to come in earlier and leave later asking us to work around 50 hours a week with nothing to gain and this is supposed to be an “experiment period” to see if we can do it permanently, but there is nothing in it for us technicians, there is the possibility of making more hours (work more get paid more like every other job does) but we don’t really get anything on our end to make our sacrifice worth it.
do you guys think this is fair? am i just being a baby about it?
