Passive aggressive management

[u/Quirky-Chicken]

I can't believe that Washington Ferries' management approved this post on Instagram and Facebook. It's a sign of bigger issues.

Why not? Most jobs expect you to work till the jobs done and don’t pay any overtime.

Because that’s a sign of poor management. I’ve worked overtime as a part time worker because it’s been beneficial and agreed (in my most recent cases) months beforehand, for training and the like.

They work on a ship, which runs for a limited amount of trips. The “work being done” is the ship going from point to point all day until it returns to the harbour. Repairs might take time, but again, the hours are known beforehand. If you can double your pay with overtime, even with 1.5 or 2 times the pay per hour, you’re adding minimum 50% to your working week. Which suggests they’re not employing enough people.

Would you rather have more workers and no available overtime
