Meetings outside of working hours
Whenever our boss requests meetings with my team it’s always outside of our scheduled hours. They requested one today, and I told my lead, “sorry, but that is-
outside of my scheduled hours” she got really upset and sent the email our boss sent her and told me to take it go with her. They then proceeded to send us a meeting invite for Wednesday morning from 7:30-8:30am. I’m frustrated because first our scheduled hours are 8-4:30, so if 30min can run into our work time why can’t all of it? And secondly; I’ve been accommodating, this will be the 4th meeting outside of our scheduled hours and I want to set a boundary and protect my personal time. I’m also an hourly employee, so I don’t know if that helps or hurts my case. Anyways, I’m strongly considering telling them I will be there at 8:00am when our scheduled hours begin. I don’t care that it would be overtime, or that breakfast will be provided, and it hasn’t been said that it is mandatory. I just don’t know how much trouble I will get in by doing this.
Edit TL;DR
Before hours meeting, paid, but being asked to work outside my hours. I’d like to refuse, because I’ve accommodated previous, and continues to happen
