If management are demanding that you do work beyond the agreed upon hours that’s a management problem you’d have exactly the same issue if you’re in the office.
If you want to work from home, don’t let this experience dishearten you most of the time it isn’t like that.
Arguably if you are working beyond your stated contract hours in the first place I wouldn’t call that a management problem I would call that a worker problem, you should not be working more than what your contracted hours are that’s just letting them abuse you and will lead to massive burnout
I don’t know where you’ve worked, but everywhere I’ve worked since retail the guy who doesn’t put in extra hours is the next guy who won’t be around much longer. I have both been, and not been that guy. It doesn’t seem to matter how it should be, it always eventually turns into more overtime for everyone. I have never had a job since retail where my employer hasn’t tried to manipulate us into giving them overtime.

at my work place they strongly discurage working overtime
Thanks for the sound advice. I’d like to try WFH again if I’m able.
