Rukh Whitefang Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I love getting overtime. I average about 15 hours overtime each week. And thats been for the last 4 years. Its busy season at work and I will be ramping up to 20 (or more) hours of overtime a week. From now till February I will be working 6 days a week. I don't even remember what a 40 hour work week feels like anymore. I love the fact my work doesn't care how much time I work a day, 10,11, 13 hours, doesn't matter. That and we don't clock out for lunch or breaks. Although during busy season since I am lead in my area I often don't have time to eat a lunch which kinda sucks sometimes. Most of the time though I don't even realize I haven't ate because I am so busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor J. Coyote Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Overtime is always awesome. Extra cash in the bank, never hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summercat Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I rarely turn down overtime...But as a tangential thought, I called myself "lazy" last night for not getting a second, part time job. I'm already working 40.What kind of society are we in where someone could call themselves lazy for not working more than 40 hours a week?

Increasing the hours worked per household is how you keep in the same place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summercat Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 One in which real wages are largely stagnant while housing, medical care, and education rise in cost significantly faster than inflation. Increasing the hours worked per household is how you keep in the same place.I was ranting about wages in my industry and how they're stagnant.I got hired for a job making 12 an hour in 2005. I'm currently making 12 an hour in 2015.$12 in 2005 dollars is $14.60 something in 2015 dollars. $12 today in 2015 dollars was $9.80 something in 2005. In terms of just inflation I'm making 2 dollars less an hour than I was 10 years ago.Oh, and $12 an hour is about as much as you can expect from a non-supervisory position for unarmed guards, and I don't want an armed post.Grumble. Grumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summercat Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Get an armed post at a medical cannabis dispensary. Odds of you having to do anything at all are slim to none....I don't like the customer base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukh Whitefang Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Next week starts my 60+ hour work weeks till around February. I just hope my body can make it. Moving around thousands to tens of thousands of pounds a day is exhausting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dijon Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I wish I still got overtime. Of course now that I'm paid a constant salary, 60 hour work weeks are normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
