in reply to Overtime: the "Bad News" Warning Sign
In a previous job, I quickly noticed that they often scheduled a Saturday for testing, recruiting some "volunteers", only to cancel it more often than not on the Friday before. And when it happened, people had a hard time to get a compensation day. By the time they started asking me, I answered, "sure, if I can take my compensation day *tomorrow*". Needless to say, I never did work on a Saturday for that employer.
