[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he getting compensated for he overtime worked?[/quote]

No.

I should clarify, they are forcing him to work against his will due to the unprecedent nature of the event (national emergency).  No overtime.  And a very toxic work environment.

First, I'd suggest he start looking elsewhere. I don't believe in uncompensated overtime.

However.

I have been there with this. Many, many times. Not so much the grinding hours (although that's happened too) but work taking preference over family almost all the time. It's happening as I sit here right now and he's off on an assignment he could have easily postponed after Christmas and now he wants us to fly out to him.

My advice to you is to start a separate existence. Stop telling him it's untenable. Stop worrying about him. Let him do his thing and you do yours with the kids. If he makes it, great. If he doesn't, then too bad. I got tired of the fights, the nagging, the reminding, his insistence that he had to do this, that, or the other thing or the WORLD WOULD END.

I have a lovely relationship with my teen and tween and they aren't in the least upset that he won't be here for Christmas and in fact have figured the whole thing out. The teen remarked how selfish he is.[/quote]
