Hey team, i think my employer is really abusing me, it's my first job travelling for work so i'm not sure how it's supposed to be, "small" busines with no clear policies.
I work 9am-6pm, if i do overtime it's unpaid
I fly for work 1x a month
they usually book the flights for 7am (but i still work til 6pm)
departure 7am means arrive at airport 6am which means leave home 5am which means wake up 4am, not to mention 1h (unpaid) packing up on sunday night
Then the return flights…
Start work 9am, fly back 5:40pm, end up getting home 8pm.
doesn't sound fair but seems that my boss thinks all the travelling is just part of my role
anyone else travel for work here? how is your arrangement usually?
I love my job but don't know how to approach this, or if i should just accept it as it's normal?
It's normal. But it is unfair.
