A little background, I work at a company and manage a department. This company has 5 departments, I have made my department operate with minimal flaws. Prior to when I started it was about 8-10 errors a month, now I have it to under 1. I have worked for this company for 2 years, 1 year as a manager. Since I have been manager I have stressed the importance of needing to do inventory (at least 2 emails a month along with meeting in person when I got promoted) and have never gotten a response. Recently the owner found out how screwed up our inventory is and within 15 minutes I got an email regarding a meeting about doing inventory. After meeting initially about this it was clear that they don’t want to pay overtime to count approximately 250k items and have suggested just a salary employee does it on the weekend as a part of their salary. I can already tell they are going to pitch me on that. Here’s the kicker though, I recently got bumped up to 46k a year (from 42k), our company sells about 800k a month and I know our sales staff makes between 50-75k before commission. Personally I’m not going to work on a Saturday for anything less than time and a half or 12 hours of PTO. I’ve managed plenty of businesses before and it seems they are not managing their labor very well. My question is, am I wrong for saying I will not work a Saturday without proper compensation or should do I owe it to the company as a salary employee? With that being said, I will be okay if I lose this job and I will be able to find another one with little problems.
