Was talking with a friend the other day and his job just offered unlimited overtime for anyone that wants to work it. The reason he was given was because its bonus time and if you want one then earn it. Overtime being the bonus.
I've heard a ton of reasons for overtime but that's a new one on me.
Wanted to know what are some other reasons for having your workers work overtime. At one place I was at I requested some overtime to be approved in order to hit some ship dates. I was approved but had to write an email in a company approved format to detail why the overtime was needed and the steps to take in order for it to not happen again in the future.
Seen some companies where overtime was just a normal work week and others where even the word overtime was a curse word.
Does it come down to just different mind sets of the owners/management? Just different fields in manufacturing? Would like some insight into this if anyone has some spare time.
