I worked for a company years ago (rhymes with American Distress) that bought out another company (nicknamed Deathco). Our manager was actually booted out by corporate and replaced by the manager (we’ll call her Patty) from the bought-out company. We soon realized that she had some policies and expectations of employees that didn’t sit well with those of us who took the legal meaning of our non-salaried positions quite seriously.
Apparently, her staff meetings were held after work hours with everyone expected to stay and participate, but without overtime pay. Upon the first such meeting beginning at 5 pm there was a mass exodus of the original American Distress employees who were paid hourly. The looks on the faces of Patty and the Deathco employees were priceless!
The next day there was a memo circulated, stating that all future staff meetings would be held during the work day. 🙌🏼
