“We tried to tell our employees not to work on sundays, and then one guy told us once he couldn’t work on that friday and that he’d prefer to work on sunday!”
This is absolute bad faith, it has nothing to do with resorting to crunch. You may make your schedules more flexible, for convenience. It’s nice, but it’s comparatively not a huge deal.
Problem is when you’re making your employees work 12-hour days or a whole week with no rest day. Making it sound like one anecdote is ruining all your attempts to have an healthy work schedule is insulting to everyone.
What the hell was that excuse in the quote?
