Needing to, “be more of a team player”.
Post Body

During my time with JPMorgan, we would work a half day Saturday, Sunday off, then a weekday off. 40 hours/week.

This position (Associate Banker) was a combination of being a greeter, a teller, an account maintenance person, a notary, an ATM custodian, and an account manager. There was much to learn, memorize, and perfect to make sure we were in compliance as an employee of Chase. However, the amount of work done did not reflect on the $17.85/hr pay, especially when you discovered later you were the least paid employee (different story).

I value my free time, as much as any other person does. Not getting a full weekend was off putting and getting out 30-40 minutes late consistently due to a single individual was not okay. So when I have a day off, or lunch, or allocated time off, I take it and don’t take it for granted. Except, of course, when you’re naive & trying to appease your manager for a hopeful promotion with the company.

I was made to feel bad on more than one occasion for not being a “team player” by choosing to not go into work on a scheduled day off. It was the typical, “well what do you got going on?” “I figured you’d say that…” “You sure you can’t help out the team?” This is retail, and I get scheduling issues at times. But hot damn, making me feel guilty for taking my scheduled time off is such an abusive tactic on the new guy. Eventually, I was told by other employees I need to be more of a team player, and start coming into work if another employee is needed on a day I’m scheduled off. “You don’t want to be risking a future promotion by making a reputation for yourself, now do you?” I was told.

I no longer work at JPMC, but the attitude management gave to us made my blood boil.
