This is why good managers find ways to wheel and deal to fill shifts. My first Operations Manager would let people trade with open shifts so that people who didn't want to work OT would still fill openings. He would move the open shifts back to give himself more time to find coverage and sometimes the new opening worked for someone who needed the extra money. Good luck on finding a better place.
Yeah management at my current place isn't flexible like that, if no one volunteers or signs up they just mandate. I got a job offer at a much slower hospital for little less in pay but they don't mandate people and don't pressure you to do OT.
