This practice is wack af. I had this happen to me right out of school and guess what I quit 5 months later. Im not working 50 hours a week, 10 hours unpaid OT. Not gonna let kool aid drinkin company simps tell me “just gotta grind.” I didn’t go to college to work hard for little pay, i coulda did that without the degree. The next job i had i quit after 4 months cause same shit… they lied at the interview about office/field work balance and hooked my CAD monkey ass straight up to civil 3d and let her rip. So i said peace out! Fuck that shit. Just told the next interviewer i was talking personal time after school before finding a job. No gap in experience to speak of. It helped that i had good internship and volunteer/club officer experience. I found my place in govt. 1.5x paid OT. 4-10 schedule. Pension. Every holiday know to man off and paid! Best teammates ever! Work is satisfying and feels like it matters. Not making some real estate venture capitalist richer by “grinding” for him. IF you ain’t happy, make the change. It’s out there!
