Ps. The overtime for me. In my particular position, was a requirement that was listed in my hire on contract. The trade off is job security, something I had not experienced for years till now.
This company has evolved my job around my disabilities, liabilities, and abilities. They have given me facilities to take care of my medical issues in a clean private room, supply me with a private bathroom, close to my work area Allow me to vary my breaks to deal with my issues. Let me talk on the phone with the wife while working if nessesary, accept when I am in the pit, which usually lasts no longer then 3 hrs at a time.
Most of the time. I am in a climate controlled room no less then 50% of my work day. With my own water cooler, and coffee pot.
They are close to the house. Let me run home if nessesary, for an hour or so, to care for my wife, if she has an issue. Then stay over to catch up. Something no one else was able to do for me. As long as my work is done in time for others to use the results. Then I put forth a little extra effort beyond that.
They are happy with me.
Pretty much let me fill out my own evaluation.
Do not really want to rock the boat.
I could use my seniority to alleviate some of the OT. Then the fellow who it would fall on, because of his personal issues, would have to quit. Leaving me in more of a conundrum.
Hate doing all the OT now, but without my doing it, there would be not time to train the employee that is going to let me be able to get back to my normal schedule.
Hopefully this new person works out. Not many people who can or will work, like they own it. Which is nessesary on my department.
