I work at the deli, and I'm the one who makes sandwiches. But at the same time, I also have to stop and wait on customers if we get more than one lined up, because we're understaffed most of the time and there will be only one person on counter if I'm making sandwiches. I was only working 5 hours, so as you can imagine, getting my sandwiches all done on a busy Friday was a nightmare. We were slammed all day. Then the assistant deli head walks up and tells me that I can't leave until I finish my sandwiches. Uh, excuse me? I don't have to stay beyond what my schedule says. I told him as much and he got all huffy and said he was going to write me up for not getting the job done.
I feel bad about leaving it for other people to do, but at the same time, it's not really my fault that they only schedule 2 people until the night shift gets in and they expect us to get things done besides waiting on the counter.
Why not stay? I jump at the opportunity to pick up extra hours. I was scheduled 31 hrs this week and will end up with over 40. Now, you have to deal with the possible fall out with your deli head. Hopefully, it will blow over quickly.
It depends on your contract. My understanding of our contract is: If you are asked to stay within an hour before your shift ends, you must stay. If you leave, it is a voluntary quit.
Well, it's one thing if you want to stay. I understand wanting extra hours. But I'm on a tight schedule - I have things to do at home and I have to pick up my kids, ect. I really hate being asked to stay past my scheduled time because of that. But if he had asked nicely, instead of yelling at me and then demanding that I stay and threatening me, I might have agreed to stay over this once. But no, he was a jerk.
I've never heard of being required to stay after your schedule if they ask you.
The next time you should explain to your super that you appreciate being asked to stay because the extra time is valuable but you have some business that needs to be taken care of that cant wait. Picking the kids up is a good excuse, "no one else can pick them up".
Usually they ask me to stay over well in advance. Only twice they hit me up right as I was getting ready to clock out. Well, back on the apron went, and I returned to work. Someone called out last minute. Also, I'm kinda pissed at my family right now, so anytime they asked me to stay over, I do in a heartbeat.
I have clocked out only to be paged by management and asked to clock back in. I've never seen this refusal to stay is a voluntary quit thing. It's not in my contract and is utterly asinine in concept. That union local should be pilloried for accepting such a provision. It's a job is not a prison term.

I agree. It is not in the midsouth contract and I don't know what self-respecting union negotiator would allow that to be put in a contract.

because you said "asinine" I must go watch some king of the hill. AWAY!
