Jimmy,

OT has been part and parcel of the job for a while now. Of course it is factored into the financial decision-making of a family. It is money coming in and if it were to stop coming in, it would affect the family. It isn't just a small dollar amount. It is rather substantial. I think it is stranger to believe that WFD just banks the OT and is happy to have some additional money in their savings account. There are many things that I agree with you on but this one is not one of them. OT is ingrained in the WFD at this point. The money is not an unexpected surprise. It is part of the work schedule.

Also, there are many private sector jobs that employees are called in during non-scheduled hours. While I understand that it does create issues with your personal life, you are not the only occupation where that occurs. I doubt anyone goes into a job like that not understanding that is part of the job.
