Do you work beyond office-hours and not paid overtime?

[DeadlyVenom]

I work in a IT team pretty similar to Deadly. However we are required to go to office 3 days a week. Yes 9-5 was more of a generic statement and we often need to work/take zoom calls late hours

Multiple income stream can be difficult.

At the moment I prefer to focus on one thing and then switch off.

You guys have a much more taxing job as well that's why. So it's understandable.

Yes same. I am 37 and old now...so not young and energetic as brother @mominsaigol

At this stage I just want to do my job and then relax post work.

No doubt. If it's something you enjoy then it's quite relaxing but that is hard to find.

Had all annual leaves went to waste last year due to hectic work load, when asked about encashment was given only ⅕th of it.

I work from home (100% remote). So, my overtime doesn't feel like overtime.

I am online almost all day. Work or no work. I may go outside for a few hours in the middle for Jumuah or just to get coffee/fresh air.

So no space for remote working

Misbah Ul Haq wants your dad to be Pakistan's cricket coach and selector.

Very strange.

More and more companies are letting workers to work remotely nowadays. Elon seems old school.

It ultimately comes down to this: Do you utterly truly really love your job or not. If you do then the choices are obvious regardless of whether the employer reciprocates or not. If you don't then you are in the wrong job/profession/employer. I realize that vast majority of the people never get to experience that feeling but I have been fortunate.

And lets say the company/employer is a total jackass ... so what ... the experience you put in is entirely yours to keep !! And let me tell you there is no substitute for experience that you could easily use to find a better job!

Just curious if anybody in the same boat as me who truly love their job?

I love the fact my work is remote. It saves me $300-$400 monthly in commute/lunch costs.

My manger is excellent. She is friendly and understanding.

Having said that, I have a few annoying coworkers (all are desis; LOL). I only interact with them if I really have to; I try to avoid them as much as I can. One of them blatantly slacks.

I have one Chinese coworker. She is pleasant. I love working with her.

That explains a lot.

I would return the favor and do it. Used to do it in my last job in the starting days but when I saw that they did not care about me or acknowledge me for my work, I stopped doing that and also left the job later on.

Toxic work environment is not tolerable for me.

What do you mean?
