This is the same man who suggested on behalf of @CorusPR that I — as part of a three-person team making a daily news podcast — had worked almost 500 overtime hours "surreptitiously." What an unbelievably ghoulish column. https://financialpost.com/executive/careers/howard-levitt-working-from-home-is-giving-rise-to-an-insidious-trend-time-theft-by-employees?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1605634134
Being laid off so suddenly was shitty. But the suggestion when I tried to claim the overtime afterwards that I deliberately worked longer hours to make more money was so absurd and insulting, it made me see red.
I worked 12-hour days every day for over a year cuz I had to — we were never given the resources we needed to make the show, despite constantly asking for help. We worked that much cuz that's what you do when you have a daily deadline and zero support.
Wasn't going to tweet this cuz there's a weird silence in our industry around objectively horrible working conditions and a tendency to frown on people who publicly complain about them, but that's part of the reason why we're severely overworked and underpaid. We should speak up.
I see how some of y'all are blindly loyal to the corporations you work for, and I hope you never have the experience of putting your heart and soul into something that benefits the company and being thrown out like trash. They don't care about you!
