It was like that LOL.
Trouble was, the ‘who does the laundry’ arguments were legendary. IF my job had been the one I EXPECTED when I was hired it wouldn’t have been a problem for me to do laundry. IF we had lived in an ordinary suburbia house with its own washer/dryer it would have been no big deal. As it was, it was a humonguous apartment building with laundry in the basement. ‘Doing laundry’ was a 2 or 3hr commitment of your time. And infringed on sleep time LOL.
Some weeks I actually worked closer to 80hrs a week. No time to grocery shop so every meal was takeout or fast food or delivery. House cleaning wasn’t done. Course we were never home so it wasn’t THAT big a deal. But still.
So yeah. I turned the beeper ‘off’ after a couple months of that. At that point I’d called the head hunter, informed him the company had LIED about the job realities (I was like the 3rd person in a week that had picked up the phone and called him about this company LOL) and I wanted OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT. I had 4 interviews over the next 5 days and took a new job the following week. So yeah, I can see a need for ‘honest dialogue’ about job responsibilities prior to anyone getting hired. And I went to a job with real on call with real on call pay. And UNsurprisingly (to me anyways) actually worked FEWER hours. And developed a shoe habit. We won’t discuss the shoe habit...
Intersting story. People have to be very careful when taking a new job; a lot of nonsense by employers who know they have the upper hand. I’ve seen “entry level” jobs (paying entry-level wages) that require 2-3 years’ experience, bait & switch stuff where a good job is advertised but something completely different is described in the interview, etc.
