we were in our team huddle and the claim manager (my section manager's manager) was in the huddle with us. and she asked how we were handling the work load and asking about overtime.

then she pin pointed me directly. so i said i am handling my workload fine and i avoid overtime at all costs because of the work-life balance i like to achieve. i said that i prioritize my new claims and making first contact on the claims i was unable to obtain first contact on yesterday and then i just work through my queue as those tasks all are a 7 day service level objective and that i don't feel stressed or overwhelmed at all, though i know some people in the department do and are working over time.

so she starts GRILLING me. "so you don't feel the need to work any overtime?" no. "so you don't even come in 30 minutes early?" no. "so if your teammates needed help you wouldn't come in 30 minutes early?" i can help them just fine with my workload during normal work hours but if it was absolutely required or necessary to come in early to help my team i would. it's just not something i'd necessarily take upon myself to do.

and i felt like she was upset that i WASN'T drowning in the workload that we have like some people and didn't have some sob story to give about how it's all too hard.

so she comes to my desk afterwards and just says "so what do you have to do after work that is so important you just can't work overtime?"

"important? nothing. i just like to spend time with my dog and my boyfriend. and i like to decompress when i get home after work."

"does it take you very long to decompress?"

"no. it takes like 30 minutes."

then she saw my sloth calendar and said how she saw one in costa rica. i said i would like to take a vacation to costa rica to go to the sloth sanctuary and she says "well you know if you worked overtime you may be able to get there faster ;)"

okay cool i don't need to work over time. if you want to pay me almost $50/hr over time to sit on my phone or online and not do shit i can do that. or i can do it at home if you'd let us take laptops home. but i don't need to because i can get my work done fine and i'm almost literally #1 in all the service level objectives you set for our department on my team with the fastest cycle time from received to closed for my claims. there's literally no reason for me to work over time.

fuck man.
