Can’t fire her, that would lead to a wrongful termination, she could also file through department of labor and force them to pay while also protecting her
Lmao that ending. She was astonishingly polite. The last time I had a situation like that I literally yelled at the poor woman, "Yes. that's what I said. I worked the time and I will get paid for that. Lady, I don't work for free. Do YOU work for free??"
I don't hear these calls- after I'm off, I'm off. Should have caught me before 4. But I'm too old for the something else generation and this is the laziest way I know to not be taken advantage of😂
It sounds like Veronica's employer dreams up all kinds of ways to get people to work for free, whether it’s working from home without pay, meetings without pay, or staying late without pay. And it's "no big deal" except when Veronica tries to charge them, in which case it's a very big deal indeed. I think Veronica would make a good TV show. She reminds me a little bit of Stanley from The Office. The boss is like the boss from Office Space.
Well she did work , it’s not like reading and responding to work emails is something she loves to do on her own free time.. some companies have no boundaries. I remember forever ago I worked at Sam’s and they said if we’re off the clock and if we help a customer look for something, even if it’s two minutes , we have to write it down .
Yes... it was Walmart, and by extension Sam's Club. This is because Walmart had a *massive* payout for a lawsuit from employees working off the clock and not getting paid for it. When I worked for Walmart 14 years ago, there were a series of policies we were trained on that were the results of lawsuits.
What did they sie for? How did policies change? It sounds like what happened in the skit working overtime and not being paid for it was standard practice.
Oh you still get called "Difficult" / "Troublemaker" etc and there's still so much employers get away with as employee rights are still behind the times

I was a manager for 30 years. While Veronica is right, most managers would put her on the S List. It might take a year, but she’ll end up being terminated for a completely different reason. Real Facts!
Truth! Management will be *very* careful to make sure that the reason cannot be traced back to this but it *will* happen. Either that or they will find a way to make her quit. Whether they tow the legal line of making her working life miserable, gradually cut hours due to "budget cuts" or "cuts in office hours" so that she can no longer make enough money to pay her bills, or some other way of forcing her to quit... *they will make sure that the process is legal and cannot be connected to this incident as well* Boundaries are nice and are also necessary but it is important to remember that employers can push back too. They didn't get where they are without knowing the legal loopholes.
Real facts. I'm in my mid 40's and lost many jobs sticking up for myself. I'm honestly really proud of this new generation that are all banding together to improve work culture, adhere to healthier boundaries, and get basic self respect that we all should have had all along. American corporate culture is sick. And when we work our way up we realize it's the same absurd dog and pony show at every level. I hated management even more than entry level realizing that manipulating and taking advantage of naive underlings was actually part of the job I was expected to do, while also still getting the same treatment from above. I left the corporate world and couldn't be happier.
Smh have tou watched the videos of them crying an having meltdown after being fired for acting entitled an stuff? Yea, something to be proud of smh. The biggest thing everyone is missing in all these videos (they are funny vids), is that you cant speak to your coworkers/managers the way veronica does. She is so pompous and entitled. She would be terminated almost immediately from almost any job. And there is not an wrongful termination lawsuit either. It would be good management to prevent her from spreading her toxic entitled attitude. This new generation of entitled participation award winners is a disaster. What they all need to do is keep quiet, do their jobs to the best of their ability and have a job to come back to. Take that advice to the bank.
@@abyssabyss7203 And how do you suggest Veronika should have handled her boss contacting her at home, after hours, and telling her to work after 5pm for free?
@@abyssabyss7203we know the real world isn't like the vids but it should be. Managers taking the piss and thinking thet own your life, has to stop somewhere or the world gets an even shittier place to work than it is now
Love it! But I'm still trying to figure out who answers the phone for work after hours, and they're not on-call? If you're not on-call, leave that work cell in your desk. If they call you on your personal phone, put work numbers on dnd. Your job should literally think you fell off the face of the planet between 5pm--759am lol.
There are Veronica Videos where she has her Boss on Do Not Disturb on her days off but answers "Private," phone calls which is her Boss calling from a completely different phone number and is asking Veronica to come in on her day off.
I doubt the company would pay the money which gives Veronica the ammunition to say "ok, from now on, I'm unavailable after 5pm because the company clearly doesn't need the extra work done that urgently", and Veronica would definitely stick to that hard boundary.
I was asked to be “on call” for a weekend, and I said, sure, 4 hour minimum per day I’m on call. They said they wouldn’t pay if they didn’t call me. I said, no, you need to talk to my agent, as I was a freelancer. They decided I didn’t have to be on call.
We had a company dinner, and a colleague who was sitting at another table suddenly came to sit next to me. I asked him, "What's up? Wasn't it fun over there?" He had been sitting next to the manager and had already had a few beers. The manager told him to take it easy because this event was still considered work time. "Work time?" he asked, surprised. "Yes, you're drinking beer like it's nothing. This is still work time, and you need to behave appropriately." My colleague responded, "This is personal time. I didn't have to come to this dinner. I'm adult enough to decide how much I drink." I was a bit shocked that the manager said this.
How long did it take you, and are you hourly or salary? I fully understand not letting companies roll over you, though no legitimate company should be asking for an hourly employee to go over 40 hours and not pay overtime.
If you state 40 hours per week, then you are most likely hourly, salary, they could work you 1 hour a week or 40-168 hours a week. Just like the military is salary and you work that many hours a week when on a deployment.
where so you live? this is a reality of legitimate exempt and non-exempt employees. non-exempt... I'd like to think it's harder but they can be tricked into clocking out and continue working (usually younger ppl fall for that)
A lot of those are hourly positions though. I'm also hourly and while it's super annoying when my shifts run long, I can at least be confident that I'm getting paid appropriately. Salaried positions have different rules.
You can't be an independent contractor (freelance) if you are an employee. Get paid for what you work, but the two hour minimum is not something you can unilaterally impose as an employee. I love Veronica wanting to be treated fairly, but I also want her to be fair as well.
Sure you can. If they don’t pay, she has federal law on her side and even better, if it gets out then others will speak up too. If you like getting bent without a kiss on the cheek from managers at your job, that’s great but don’t get mad at people who get creative and bend them over for a change.
I Get Veronica's point. But that aggressiveness would equal her contract not be renewed as an independent contractor. A lot of viewers might get the wrong impression from this. Independent contractors in my state are not equal to hourly employees. Independent contractors do the scope of work regardless of 40 hours. It if take 60 hours to get the job done then it is 60 hours. Likewise, if the independent contractor can get it done in 20 hours. thats cool too.
This is why you use your phone to record any conversations you can. If they try to fire you there'll be evidence of some kind. They can fire you for any reason but if it's recorded then it's proof enough that somethings going on.
If it’s after work hours, why answer the phone? I can say that what these skits are saying , is what a lot of us are thinking, but we all know that if we talked to management like this, it would be considered insubordination, leading to a write up or could lead to termination. I would like to know, how many of you have talked to your managers like Veronica? And If you did…let us know what happened. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
This is me. I have several hours of overtime some of which is actually from while I was on vacation 🤨 I will never get those hours back in time off or otherwise.
I dont think this a generation thing. I am 54 and I also fight for every penny I can from my employer. I am not doing anything over and beyond what is needed for my job, because companies are like children if you budge an inch for them they will try to get you to move a mile. Not happening.
My job never asks me to do anything after hours. It really isn't that hard. They are so adamant about that specifically not to deal with overtime, so if you happen to have overtime hours on your timesheet, you best have a damn good reason for it.
Fyi, be firm and confident, but please don’t talk like this to a superior unless you want to blacklisted by all the companies. You’ll be tagged as difficult, and arrogant. Make your case, but don’t be like this.
Veronika reclaiming her time 😂 as we all should. Also, the ad at the beginning of the video is annoying as always but it’s nice to see some evidence of monitization. Everyone involved deserves to reap the fruits of their labor. Thank you Toon Tribe for reaching out to Veronika. I will sub to no other Veronika animator but you. You are proof that caring is sharing ❤and a rising tide lifts all boats
Anything more than a quick phone call after hours should be put on the time sheet as overtime. Or at a minimum, it should be comped by letting you take that amount of time off during normal working hours.
I do criticise Millennials and GenZs from time-to-time, for all sorts of reasons... But I have to say... Given the fact that the average worker is screwed, while managers, bosses and the salaries of CEOs continues to boom! Good On Them for Fighting Back!!! Because ultimately, this world will be their's one day anyway! So I hope they can do a MUCH better job than us Boomers and GenXers!
If it was as a freelance contractor you need to invoice them as 1099; if it’s 2 hours as part of your W2 hourly non exempt job, then you are entitled to overtime. If you are salary exempt, you don’t have a stick figure leg to stand on other than it’s will to work (unless Montana) and you can resign if you don’t like them calling after 5.
Yeah, it's cool to be all smug and think you're showing them...til you get fired for something unrelated because they had enough of you. It ain't hard to get rid of squeaky wheels.
So youre an employee not a freelance contractor. You have no contract in additoon to your employment to work off of. You are however entitled to pay for work you do. If youre an hourly and get asked to do work after hours, record that and add it to the timesheet absolutely. Its on her to get her upper managemeny to approve the hours. They were worked regardless so have to be paid out. Shes just doesnt want upper mgmt chewing her ass out for this gaping oversight of how employment and payroll works. My employees? Id tell upper management that they wanted x done, this is how it got done. Pay my employees for getting you across the finish line or i might be gone with them
I'd have just not worked from home. Unless it was scheduled. I don't answer work calls after hours, either. I don't care how much shit is hitting how many fans.
Let me explain why this is bullshit. Cuz I'm tired of everybody saying that if they would have fired her then she can sue for wrongful termination. She has every fucking right to simply not answer her phone. HER PERSONAL PHONE. NOT a company provided phone that must remain on at all times, which would require on call pay. Also did she have the company sign any type of contract stating as such? That she's a self contractor after 5:00 p.m. so if they call her personal phone and she answers and they request that she do any type of work then they have to pay her a minimum 2-hour fee? NOO. Do you answer your fucking phone on your own time and you decide to do you work on your own time then that is on you and the only exception is if you don't answer your phone and then they text you stating that if you don't answer that it can result in termination and then you can try to sue for wrongful termination. Because then you're trying to force someone to do work outside of normal business hours
Just two months ago, I fired a worker just like Veronica. When she gave me lip, I said, "Read your employment contract." I suspect she is still looking for a job. Meanwhile, her colleague (also a millenial) is working when I ask her to work. As a result, I'm going to give her a huge bonus at the end of the year. That bonus will be way more than the precious "overtime" would have been. Thing is, a lot of work is time-sensitive and does not go by your 9 to 5 schedule.
If Veronica was a "freelance contractor", then she's not owed OT unless there's a specific contract with her as a subcontractor (and it's obvious that there isn't). If she's an employee (and it's obvious she is), then she should get paid for time worked if she's an hourly employee. But since the effort didn't take 2 hours (she wouldn't have brought up the "2 hour minimum" if she actually had worked 2 hours so the argument later that she actually did work 2 hours doesn't hold ANY water) she's just falsified her timesheet. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Veronica. Oh, she might get paid the 2 hours because it's not worth the hassle but then she'll be terminated immediately in any "right to work" state. Veronica may be sticking up for herself but she's wrong as often as she's right. This one is just dumb.
I really hope no one acts like Veronica going into their first job. They won’t last long. This is someone’s fantasy . The things you think you wish you had said after you get home. lol. You won’t keep a job with this attitude. Run your own company Veronica. Go
It's a cartoon! I think we all realize that this is more or less like quitting, we are not so free as we like to say. I have a tiny bit of this attitude and definitely have trouble in the work place. THIS IS a fantasy, and I'm glad we can at least have THAT!
Lower middle class attitude. She won't amount to much. Have fun working till you're 80 and almost losing your job every other month arguing over $40 lol
This is asinine. I have worked for 15 an hour for employers who demanded sixty a week for no overtime. I was run ragged, called in last second, and sent on the road 100% of the time for a 25% travel job because, and I quote “you’re single.” You know what I got on my review? “Adequate” That’s not even a little uncommon. If an employer won’t pay overtime, they don’t deserve my time. If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
I'm gunna need Veronica to represent me at my next HR meeting about overtime.
Right!
yas chile!
A wise man once said F*** YOU PAY ME! Words to live by.

Many jobs usually pay time and a half per hour for overtime. Working holidays usually pay double time.
A lot of those are hourly positions though. I'm also hourly and while it's super annoying when my shifts run long, I can at least be confident that I'm getting paid appropriately. Salaried positions have different rules.
I'm retired now but I remember working for a company the held a department wide meeting and said us, this is where you live.
You can't be an independent contractor (freelance) if you are an employee. Get paid for what you work, but the two hour minimum is not something you can unilaterally impose as an employee. I love Veronica wanting to be treated fairly, but I also want her to be fair as well.
Exactly. She needs to invoice them as a contractor if that’s how she bills after 5, not add it to the time-card!
Sure you can. If they don’t pay, she has federal law on her side and even better, if it gets out then others will speak up too. If you like getting bent without a kiss on the cheek from managers at your job, that’s great but don’t get mad at people who get creative and bend them over for a change.
Okay, no, that's totally fine. You don't have to pay me. I'll just get ahold of the labor commission.
As long as you dont like your job, dont rely on your job to make ends meet, and have sufficient rainy day funds, than this is great.
So you should just be a subservient idiot to afraid to stick up for yourself?
Shouldn't put yourself in a position where you fear for your job then
Dont we all wish to be brave like Veronica
Yes 😢.. yes we do
I want to be assertive as Veronica!
I hardly take calls from my employer when I’m working. So they definitely won’t be getting me to take their calls off the clock 👍👍👍👍
This is literally why they invented salaried workers.. 😂
I Get Veronica's point. But that aggressiveness would equal her contract not be renewed as an independent contractor. A lot of viewers might get the wrong impression from this. Independent contractors in my state are not equal to hourly employees. Independent contractors do the scope of work regardless of 40 hours. It if take 60 hours to get the job done then it is 60 hours. Likewise, if the independent contractor can get it done in 20 hours. thats cool too.
This is why you use your phone to record any conversations you can. If they try to fire you there'll be evidence of some kind. They can fire you for any reason but if it's recorded then it's proof enough that somethings going on.
Im some places it is mandatory pay, they must pay you for hours worked. Even overtime.
In most places at least the US, it’s illegal to work for free. Unless you call it pro bono or trade for trade, it’s theft of wages which is illegal🎉
Gotta love when they blame it on our generation
If it’s after work hours, why answer the phone?
I can say that what these skits are saying , is what a lot of us are thinking, but we all know that if we talked to management like this, it would be considered insubordination, leading to a write up or could lead to termination.
I would like to know, how many of you have talked to your managers like Veronica? And If you did…let us know what happened. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
A Poster said she took Veronica's advice and told her Boss off and she was fired! ☢️
You give me so much HOPE AND SELF RESPECT
This is me. I have several hours of overtime some of which is actually from while I was on vacation 🤨
I will never get those hours back in time off or otherwise.
I'll be something else alright; fairly compensated for my time and work.
Veronica is going to get some people fired!!! Especially in these 'at will' states! 😂😂😂
A Poster already got fired after taking Veronica's advice and telling her Boss off. ☢️
Like a fu¢kin' boss. ✊🏻💜
I dont think this a generation thing. I am 54 and I also fight for every penny I can from my employer. I am not doing anything over and beyond what is needed for my job, because companies are like children if you budge an inch for them they will try to get you to move a mile. Not happening.
Something else - too right! Go Girl ❤🎉
I love Veronica! Like really she could be my besty at work ... LOL
My job never asks me to do anything after hours. It really isn't that hard. They are so adamant about that specifically not to deal with overtime, so if you happen to have overtime hours on your timesheet, you best have a damn good reason for it.
Fyi, be firm and confident, but please don’t talk like this to a superior unless you want to blacklisted by all the companies.
You’ll be tagged as difficult, and arrogant.
Make your case, but don’t be like this.
Ooohh! Not blacklisted!! Not all that evidence of discrimination and harassment at work for refusing to let them break the law!! What to do??? 😂
Veronika reclaiming her time 😂 as we all should.
Also, the ad at the beginning of the video is annoying as always but it’s nice to see some evidence of monitization. Everyone involved deserves to reap the fruits of their labor. Thank you Toon Tribe for reaching out to Veronika. I will sub to no other Veronika animator but you. You are proof that caring is sharing ❤and a rising tide lifts all boats
I’m in love with Veronica
Anything more than a quick phone call after hours should be put on the time sheet as overtime. Or at a minimum, it should be comped by letting you take that amount of time off during normal working hours.
Someone please show this to every working salary person in Japan
In hire and fire at will situation, Vero would not be there long. I guess that's why she has so many jobs.
That can work in her favor in the end. Besides, why should she put up with bullshit?
Or she could be making lots of money with lawsuits
@@zoneflare2363 Go try it and come back when you're a millionaire.
Where do these Veronica clips come from? It there a TV show or something?
LOL.
Gen X here.
I do NOT work unless you PAY ME!
I do criticise Millennials and GenZs from time-to-time, for all sorts of reasons... But I have to say... Given the fact that the average worker is screwed, while managers, bosses and the salaries of CEOs continues to boom!
Good On Them for Fighting Back!!! Because ultimately, this world will be their's one day anyway! So I hope they can do a MUCH better job than us Boomers and GenXers!
If it was as a freelance contractor you need to invoice them as 1099; if it’s 2 hours as part of your W2 hourly non exempt job, then you are entitled to overtime. If you are salary exempt, you don’t have a stick figure leg to stand on other than it’s will to work (unless Montana) and you can resign if you don’t like them calling after 5.
Yeah, it's cool to be all smug and think you're showing them...til you get fired for something unrelated because they had enough of you. It ain't hard to get rid of squeaky wheels.
One co-worker smugly told me, "Hey, the squeaky wheel gets the grease."
"Yeah, but sometimes, the squeaky wheel get replaced, too."
This must be made by a British person. In America, companies can just salary you and make you work as much as you want, LOL.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇦
I just want to know why are there so many of these on so many channels... are all u guys giving the VA a cut or are you all stealing the dialog.
Stolen audio of course
Omg i love these
So youre an employee not a freelance contractor. You have no contract in additoon to your employment to work off of.
You are however entitled to pay for work you do. If youre an hourly and get asked to do work after hours, record that and add it to the timesheet absolutely.
Its on her to get her upper managemeny to approve the hours. They were worked regardless so have to be paid out. Shes just doesnt want upper mgmt chewing her ass out for this gaping oversight of how employment and payroll works.
My employees? Id tell upper management that they wanted x done, this is how it got done. Pay my employees for getting you across the finish line or i might be gone with them
Contractor scope of work and overage charges. Just like if you were hiring an attorney or construction crew.
Veronica why???😂😂😂
After 5:00 🕔 o’clock 😅
I am sure she has been labeled aggressive instead of assertive. There is a different. This world still wants women yo be seen and not heard.
I see so many versions of these characters, which was the original?
I'd have just not worked from home. Unless it was scheduled. I don't answer work calls after hours, either. I don't care how much shit is hitting how many fans.
This isn't a generational thing. This has been a thing for as long as employment has been a thing.
"Is it in your contract to get paid for overtime Veronica? No? Looks like you're not getting those 2 hours then".
That's not how freelance contracting works.
I there were Unions over there you would not have these problems
I dont know what gen veronica is, but as gen x ive done the same. 😜
😂😂
Let me explain why this is bullshit. Cuz I'm tired of everybody saying that if they would have fired her then she can sue for wrongful termination. She has every fucking right to simply not answer her phone. HER PERSONAL PHONE. NOT a company provided phone that must remain on at all times, which would require on call pay. Also did she have the company sign any type of contract stating as such? That she's a self contractor after 5:00 p.m. so if they call her personal phone and she answers and they request that she do any type of work then they have to pay her a minimum 2-hour fee? NOO. Do you answer your fucking phone on your own time and you decide to do you work on your own time then that is on you and the only exception is if you don't answer your phone and then they text you stating that if you don't answer that it can result in termination and then you can try to sue for wrongful termination. Because then you're trying to force someone to do work outside of normal business hours
Fired..........but I cringefully liked her attitude
I wasn’t fired. Corporations are afraid of the law…rightfully. I don’t work for free.
If she wouldn’t have done this and worked overtime with no pay they would fire her anyway when it suited the company. Sooooo
@@WWNicolegood for you.
Corporate will take advantage of you if they can. They don't care about you. It's time we stand up for rights

@@NorthJerseyJedi ...really? These are pretty reasonable social commentary. Or I guess you meant yourself? Okay...
Unionize
Just two months ago, I fired a worker just like Veronica. When she gave me lip, I said, "Read your employment contract." I suspect she is still looking for a job. Meanwhile, her colleague (also a millenial) is working when I ask her to work. As a result, I'm going to give her a huge bonus at the end of the year. That bonus will be way more than the precious "overtime" would have been. Thing is, a lot of work is time-sensitive and does not go by your 9 to 5 schedule.
Demanding to be paid for working has nothing to do with a generation. If you work, you get paid; end of discussion.
If Veronica was a "freelance contractor", then she's not owed OT unless there's a specific contract with her as a subcontractor (and it's obvious that there isn't). If she's an employee (and it's obvious she is), then she should get paid for time worked if she's an hourly employee. But since the effort didn't take 2 hours (she wouldn't have brought up the "2 hour minimum" if she actually had worked 2 hours so the argument later that she actually did work 2 hours doesn't hold ANY water) she's just falsified her timesheet. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Veronica. Oh, she might get paid the 2 hours because it's not worth the hassle but then she'll be terminated immediately in any "right to work" state. Veronica may be sticking up for herself but she's wrong as often as she's right. This one is just dumb.
lol
I really hope no one acts like Veronica going into their first job. They won’t last long. This is someone’s fantasy . The things you think you wish you had said after you get home. lol. You won’t keep a job with this attitude. Run your own company Veronica. Go
I smell a pissy manager
If more new hires did this, it would cause corporate to change.
So keep your head down and do whatever daddy tells you and hope you get a treat. got it.
Hide behind a non user verified account. Must be a toxic manager as portrayed in these vids
It's a cartoon! I think we all realize that this is more or less like quitting, we are not so free as we like to say. I have a tiny bit of this attitude and definitely have trouble in the work place. THIS IS a fantasy, and I'm glad we can at least have THAT!
Funny, but also why y’all are being replaced with AI
If you can be replaced, you will be replaced! It doesn't have much to do with YOU!
OMG..I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!!!! YOU MAKE MY DAY!!!!
Lower middle class attitude. She won't amount to much. Have fun working till you're 80 and almost losing your job every other month arguing over $40 lol
Well have fun being a pushover and an overachiever, only to get fired in the end too.
@@ML-yn9yuLower middle class response
@@josh8491 lmao I know people who make well in the 6 figures who do less work than and are a hell of a lot more lazy than me. Nice try tho.
Sounds like you're a total kiss ass 😂
This is asinine. I have worked for 15 an hour for employers who demanded sixty a week for no overtime. I was run ragged, called in last second, and sent on the road 100% of the time for a 25% travel job because, and I quote “you’re single.” You know what I got on my review? “Adequate” That’s not even a little uncommon.
If an employer won’t pay overtime, they don’t deserve my time. If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
These videos make me a better manager.
Females in the workforce….
OK Karen
