Just to clarify .... this is not my job I am speaking about lol. I am not on salary.... I have a wonderful boss.... and I love my job.

But the job in question is in the computer industry. He puts in more than 40 every week. He often has to work late at night from home (remote desktop stuff) or bring his work home a lot of the time. He has to work full days on the weekends etc etc. WHICH I understand is expected.... BUT.... my biggest issue is that when he asks in advanced for ONE hour a month to take me to my OBGYN he gets a TON of grief and they make him feel like garbage. Also..... they don't even ask before they schedule a weekend day. IMO, it is just a matter of respect that they would ask if he is available for a weekend day when they KNOW in advanced. More often than not he will have no problem with it but they don't even ask. They tell him he has to put his PERSONAL schedule on his work schedule.... WHAT???? I have never heard of that. Does he have to put when we have sex on the schedule to? lol

My main issue is that they don't treat him with any kind of respect at all. I don't think it is too much to ask. AND the other employees feel the same way and are in the same boat as him. They feel they are being taken advantage of and they just don't make enough for the amount of hours they put in. It just seems that even AFTER hours if they have family commitments they are given grief about not being available to work every single night and weekend without ANY kind of compensation. It's just a blatant lack of repsect IMO.
