5. The board of directors has decided that for the fourth time in four years, to change the way in which you report performance.
6. To keep up, you will have to work even more overtime than you already do, which you don't get paid for.
What would your response be? I know what mine would be.

Just to qualify, O&G private sector employee not in downtown Calgary.
1. Have taken 4 pay cuts in the last decade and in the last two months have seen my take home drop 20%.
2. In O&G, workload doubling is called "moving up the ladder".
3. Have had to lay off half of my staff and are still expected to get the same amount of work done.
4. Morale is my problem , so any little things done for the staff is my problem too.
5. No comment.
6. In my world it's called the things you do to keep your job.
My response...thank you for keeping me employed.
