AshleyAshes Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I just spent 15 days working 12+ hours/day trying to get a film to it's crazy deadline. The film will be out in November and earn me some serious geek cred. So yeah, crazy deadline means crazy hours, for the first time in my life, in a 14 day pay cycle, I clocked 88.14 OT hours and 88 Reg hours. That's an accomplishment right? Or is it insane? Then on the 15th day, yesterday, a statutory holiday, I worked 14 more hours. But it's cool because they catered us a turkey dinner for lunch? I'm tired you guys, I'm tired! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case no, it's pretty big and we're more hush on it than some other projects. Not till late Nov can I say so to be safe, especially not on a platform where my words might be googled. 57 minutes ago, Hux said: You're such a martyr! I bleed so that you can pay $4 bucks more to see the movie in 3D! Pray for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It better be a good movie though, otherwise I'll be looking to you for a refund *kidding* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecker Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 No, it's shift work. I've worked 8 straight time and 4 ot days on a 17 on 4 day off shift for a long time. Best part is when the shit hits the fan and they need you for an 18 hr day. Money. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagged Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 An accomplishment you have truly worked for. It must have been tough but hopefully the payout and the movie will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you though, that paycheck is gonna be sweeeeeetttt Okay, let me make something clear: Working extra labor for your employer without payment for that is wage theft. I may have worked a tremendous amount of hours but I got paid for every single one of them and I would raise hell if I wasn't. So yes, you absolutely should complain. You should no more work without pay than you should be able to order food with extra fries and say 'But I don't want to pay you for the extra fries. Just give them to me for free anyway'. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyAshes Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Today work made me a 'Full Time Employee' as opposed to a contract employee, gave me a title upgrade, and a raise. I guess all that work is paying off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
