Liz Reyer: Part-timer pressured to work more hours worries about saying ‘no’
by from on (#4JKB8)

Q: I work part-time out of choice in an hourly job. My problem is that my boss and co-workers don't respect my boundaries. They pressure me to cover for others and spend more time than I can at work, and then treat me as if I'm not one of the team when I refuse. How can I get them to be understanding so that work can be a more positive place for us all?
