I am posting this way down at the end, because I was reading the beginning of this conversation and it was about home offices...suddenly it got way off track. How'd we end up talking about dogs barking again???
We MTs have a creative way of conversing, and I mean that as a good thing LOL. Just look at the string of comments from beginning to here and see how interesting it all went! Just IMHO an observation.

off on a tangent huh company owner?
NM

She sounds like the type to go off on a tangent and fire you
over her own overcommitments. I'd tell her that you agreed to work M-F whatever hours and that anything else was "extra". You are not being paid "extra" and you don't appreciate the fact that she think's it's your fault she overextended herself. You did not promise to do extra work, you helped her out as a favor. Now she's being ungrateful about it.

Urgh. That's why I never liked working for the small MTSOs. No matter how much you do for them, they never pay you extra, they blame you for everything, they're always overstressed and curt toward people, and they never have anything nice to say. They expect you to be available 24/7 and they forget that they are the ones running the business, not us. It's so easy to blame someone else for your own responsibilities. It's so easy to dump all your garbage dictators and problems on someone else, then blame them for everything that goes wrong. Never an appreciative word or extra pay for overtime, evenings, weekends. Then they wonder why none of us want to work those shifts.
