[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NF won’t stop asking me to run errands for them on the weekends. I typically don’t work weekends so it’s not like I’m being paid extra to do this.  I almost always comply and go run the errand. Usually it doesn’t bother me, however  I’m getting tired of it. I haven’t had a raise since I started this job and I’m working today the day after thanksgiving even though in the interview I was told I would have it off.  I feel like I go above and beyond, I’m practically at there beck and call and now I’m wondering if it’s even appreciated.

The next time they ask me to run am errand on the weekend do I just say no ? I try to be a good employee but it seems to be getting me know where. [/quote]

Are they paying you for this?

When I was nannying, and money was tight, I'd have appreciated getting paid overtime to pick up some things when I was already at CVS getting my stuff.

But if they're putting any kind of pressure on you, beyond "Hey you don't happen to be going somewhere that sells toothpaste do you?  If you're willing to pick some up, we'd be grateful, and of course pay you", or they aren't paying you at all, then that's obnoxious.  And even if they are paying you, if you don't want to you should be free to say no.[/quote]

No I’m not being paid for this. I’ll get a text on a Saturday that says we need you to pick up a pie before 3 pm today. Thanks [/quote]

Yeah no.

11.15 here.  I’m a live-in, yet the only time I get a text to do something that day (non-working day) is when we’ve been trying to get the plumber to come sooner to fix something.  And that’s only if my employer absolutely can’t be home![/quote]
