50+ hour work week

[slugbait]

Tired honestly doesn't even begin to describe it

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

50 is pretty much standard operating procedure for me.

[slugbait]

I'm usually around 45ish but this week in particular was fruital

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I'm also including the hour lunch in my math. But not my 40 minute commute each way

[slugbait]

Thankfully my commute is only ~20 min. I "can" take a lunch, but it only slows me down and ends up putting me behind so I just eat in the work truck between jobs.

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I'm at work till 5 regardless and I'm not hourly, so I'm going to take that hour. It's only a 20 minute drive without traffic but that's pretty much never gonna happen with my work hours.

i'm salaried now and it kind of just doesn't ever stop anymore

[Grudge]

I'm probably the laziest and work the least out of you lot. Honestly, I probably put in 20-25 hours a week of real work in. I've also got a motivation problem and also feel entitled that I should be making 30% more than I already do.

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

You working remote?

[Ninny]

38 hours but it's becoming more and more real work hours I used to be able to chill large parts of the day

10 hours of cleaning pools a day is a lot of pool, i assume 5 * 10 or is it 8 x 6

i have not been able to count this number since 2015 which was my last real job, it varies too much week to week

[Noyka]

Lol i wish it was just 50 hours

Standard is 56 but typical between clients im pulling 70 or 80 hour work weeks to keep folks safe

But you know im rich because i have grocery money

So rude today’s climate we are all feeling inflation

My sleep is a disaster because i pull overnights more often than not

My boss is giving me the month if October off which im looking forward too still need to be on call though in case of no shows/incompetent druggies show up

Sorry rant im bitchy like we all are about work love most of the clients though

I am feeling much better about my 8:30-5 working hours. Works out at 42.5 hours but stress is pretty low, and I WFH 98% of the time.

However, we're going through a merger next month, so things are potentially uncertain...

5x10. It wouldn't have been so bad, except I was basically unfucking all of the pools people who had gotten fired had fucked. So much unfucking

You working remote?

Yes, out of my office room in the home.

but a valuable service

There are days when I’m so glad I’m still hourly and not salaried - only ever work 40ish hours a week but if I have to do more that over time pay kicks into gear after 40. But even then it’s rare to go over 50 hours a week.

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

Salary/commission for the I

same boat although on average i'd say i'm probably closer to 10 hours a week of actual-ish output

no wonder you couldn't afford to come to london, slacker

[deckard]

im doing 45 now, which is more than before but ive got less outside of work concerns, no calls or anything after work

[User]

i haven't been able to do any work since my mum's cancer news, it is a problem as i have several deadlines coming up

[Verbal]

that sucks. maybe try to go for a walk, think which dealines, if any, you can meet. then contact relevant people to postpone the others
