Thanks all. It actually comes with the bonus that we can’t work any (even one minute) overtime unless it is pre-approved. Hourly folks at my work have to sit on the time clock on Friday to make sure they clock out qt precisely 40 hours- not 40 hours 1 minute. That is really what I think I am going to have trouble with- doing that math. My boss is flexible and is OK if I flex my hours, but I will get reprimanded by HR if I don’t work exactly 40 hours without prior approval so I will now need to spend time monitoring my time to the minute.

My boss is also trying to see if we can just raise my pay by $1,000 to avoid this. She is good and was a little blindsided as well. But I guess I can try to rearrange my brain to separate work from life. Normally I would be answering work emails right now (so my work day could progress- I get over 200 emails a day and just managing that is what I do in the early morning, late evening, on the bus ride where I don’t think they would appreciate me clocking in!)

Jeez Sophia, that sucks. And they can’t have a virtual time clock so you could punch in on your work computer from wherever you are?? You’d think they could.
It is too early but I woke up at 5 and wasn’t falling back asleep so I guess I’m up?? Gross. But I have today off so I guess I’ll take a nap later. Made it to Palm Springs yesterday where I’m staying for December. Place is nice and I’ve missed this friend. Hoping this’ll be fun!

Our wings are not tired.
I do hope your boss is able to work out something, Sophia.

Oh, wow, yeah, I hope your boss can get you the bump. That's a whole lot to suddenly have to rearrange.

Sophia, that absolutely sucks balls.
I am hourly and also cannot work overtime without prior approval, but we do not click in and out, so me working my hours is all on the honor system. And if I work overtime by error or guilt without expecting comp time that can happen too.
Office staff being on punch clicks makes zero sense to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Phew!
Ugh, Sophia, that sounds so counter-productive. I hope you can get that salary bump and not punch an actual time clock!
Palm Springs for December sounds very nice, meara!
I am trying to decide how much time to dedicate to trying to see Princess Kate, and I think the answer is 10 minutes. I'll walk by when I can but not wait around.
