'remuneration' - getting paid. 'renumeration' - getting re-numbered ...

If you have to work at night, it's because A) you have that in your contract and B) you're being compensated for it. It might differ between jurisdictions and companies, though. | |

In work as in the world generally, if you screw something up you might be expected to give up some time to fix it. perhaps you introduced a code bug or messed up some data or mislaid a customer sale/order, well you might just have to work late or at the weekend. It is stressful when that happens but that's just how it is | |

| Jun 23, 2021 at 10:01 | comment | added | usr-local-ΕΨΗΕΛΩΝ | I don't agree about the warning sign to get another job. Because, simply put, if it's so common for bosses to ask for learning in the free time, the op will likely find the same elsewhere. Of course if the boss is pushing too hard, getting a new job will be helpful | |
