lucky you to have a job that gets you overtime -----take it while its going is my advice
They will soon get the message and shift their attention to softer targets and easier people to force into overtime.
This sounds very much to me like your saying it is correct to pick on the weaker people in work. Be really awkward about it and you will get away free. I would really not like to work in this type of atmosphere. Just my opinion

Some people are less able to work OT than others, because of other commitments. Other people have no such commitments. Trying to vilify people because of this is very disingenuous. Thats bullying itself.
I don't believe so, unless it's explicit in your public service contract, and I'd be surprised if it was. If it were me then I'd agree on occasion, if it suited me, to show some flexibility . . but if you can't, due to other commitments, then you can't. I would simply say 'I would but unfortunately I'm not in a position to', that's it, no detailed reason, it's not their business. You need to manage their expectations that you won't be pressured into it. My outlook is work to live rather than live to work.Does anyone know if I have to work overtime if I am asked . .
Yes I am asked to travel fairly often, maybe once a month. Also, my contract does say that I am required to travel. I quite enjoy travelling with work, however while the kids are small it is really difficult for me to do this.Does this kind of thing happen regularly, or is it a once-off? Is there any mention of requirements to travel in your contract?
The problem is that as I have been decentralised I am living in another provance from all my friends and family. Anyone I know is atleast 3 hours drive away. We only moved house last November and dont know any neighbours or friends who we can ask to take the kids overnight. We cant afford to pay a professional. If we weren't decentralised we would have friends and family around.If it is just a once-off, you might be as well finding a way to make it happen. Get support from family or friends to mind the kids for that evening.
