The Call Which We Hate On Weekends

Well there is a slight change in the plans and I cannot deny I'm not happy about it but I have to agree. So yesterday around 10 pm I got the call from my boss that I need to go work tomorrow means Sunday for about 3-4 hours for something that needs my supervision and of course it'll be a unofficial working day for me so I'll be busy for at least half day. Is There Any Call that you hate to attend especially on weekends like of boss, Relatives etc?

of course,occasionally I was requested to work overtime on weekend.naturally,i am reluctant about overtime.I am not a workaholic.but if we did a overtime,we can gain compensation leave instead of extra salary.How about you,what can you gain for overtime?

@Butterfingers ,anyway,compensatory leave is a comfort although you are without overtime pay.the worst case is free overtime,gaining nothing is most painful.

I wouldn't have answered the call honestly. I do get those calls and I usually won't pick up. Eventually, managers understood that my rest days are important and I really couldn't be bothered.

It is the most irritating thing to attend the duty on Sunday for a working man. Worst is if that comes early on Sunday morning.

Apart from spam calls, I don't really get any phone calls. Granted, I'm thankful the phone has been quiet. Save from the call from my husband.

@Butterfingers I don't recieve or pick-up calls from unknow numbers other than that I am oky talking to anybody with whom I have contacts. Earlier when I used to work, overtime work were compensated with cash and redeemable cards which can be used at certain stores or exchange with cash money. Weekend extra work or overtime work were always fun cos we friends always end up partying and having fun drinking at club or bars offcourse after having done with our task with some extra bonuses.

Luckily I do not work weekends, so a call like this is not going to come. I generally don't like being on the phone at all. But of course, I am in sales, so...I have to be most of the time.

I have worked those extra hours paid and unpaid. That's common in an organization if the overall productivity has to be maintained. It's good in some cases I guess
