Department offsite

[Anonymous]

We are having a two day department offsite at a local hotel next week.

Coworker says “so we will essentially be working 36 hours in 3 days-does that mean 4 hours on Friday?”

Dumb remark. Offsite meetings are a fact of life.

That depends on whether you are exempt or non-exempt

I'm confused. How does a two day offsite mean 36 hours in 3 days and 4 hours on Friday?

You arent billing the time you sleep or are not with your coworkers. Thats not how it works.

Every minute that you are forced to be at a place not of your choosing, away from your family and personal life, ought to count as paid or comp time.

Your coworker is an infant.
Hopefully you see it differently OP and maybe you can help him/her grow up.

Sure. But that’s not how the world works.
