Depends if you consider a day off as working for free. I never minded an occasional day of TOIL but every month is bullshit.

Feel like I’m missing something. Someone works extra hours on their day. Then they take those hours off a different day. That’s bullshit?
I’d they’re having to do that every month, then there are departmental workflow or staffing issues.
I don’t get it. Should people do work for free, or is it specifically being recompensed with time off instead of pay?
Fuck working for free. If there’s something that absolutely can’t be put down and finished later, it’s important enough for the company to pay for.
