2017-03-09 17:44:00 UTC  

work sucks

2017-03-09 17:44:12 UTC  

leave late

2017-03-09 17:44:31 UTC  

drive 25-30mph over the speed limit so I'm not one minute late

2017-03-09 17:45:16 UTC  

a total of 6 minutes late over 3 days total and I'm one infraction from being disciplined, next year's bonus has already been docked

2017-03-09 17:46:10 UTC  

I could punch literally two seconds into 1:31 twice in the next three months and be fired

2017-03-09 17:46:49 UTC  

despite having 30% more production than 3/4 of my peers

2017-03-09 17:47:45 UTC  

I've never worked for a place that strict on time

2017-03-09 17:47:55 UTC

2017-03-09 17:48:05 UTC  

mine is 20 minutes paid

2017-03-09 17:48:16 UTC  

50 hours a week fam

2017-03-09 17:48:36 UTC

2017-03-09 17:49:20 UTC

2017-03-09 17:54:09 UTC  

That's rough stuff

2017-03-09 17:54:52 UTC  

too much work

2017-03-09 17:54:55 UTC  

70 hrs a week

2017-03-09 17:55:13 UTC  

unless you are paid gazillions which you can spend on hooker and champaign and shit

2017-03-09 17:55:14 UTC  

to compensate

2017-03-09 17:59:19 UTC  

OT will burn you out

2017-03-09 18:00:34 UTC  

OT what

2017-03-09 18:01:05 UTC  

That many hours will kill everything about you eventually.

2017-03-09 18:02:44 UTC  

Overtime = OT

2017-03-09 18:03:03 UTC  

It's nice for extra pay, but it wears on you

2017-03-09 18:03:16 UTC  

And you're more susceptible to quitting/getting fired

2017-03-09 18:03:38 UTC  

and illness

2017-03-09 18:03:57 UTC  

JOBS ARE JAIL

2017-03-09 18:04:14 UTC  

I pulled some 50+ hour weeks in my last position. I felt like the pay wasn't worth the extra time lost there

2017-03-09 18:04:50 UTC  

Exempted position?

2017-03-09 18:06:46 UTC  

I was hourly then, so I got ot

2017-03-09 18:06:59 UTC  

Now I'm salaried, but it is pretty relaxed here

2017-03-09 18:07:21 UTC  

Won't work more than 40 a week for a long time

2017-03-09 18:08:11 UTC  

Nice. When salaried and required over 50 (ish) hours continually I always found the bargain becomes questionable.

2017-03-09 18:08:39 UTC  

Yeah. Agreed

2017-03-09 18:17:32 UTC  

I agree with the notion "jobs are jail." Knowing the illusion this may be, but with the right culture, leadership, and benefits jobs/work life can be quite enjoyable. Unfortunately firms that "do it right" are as common as unicorns rode by leprechauns.

2017-03-09 18:18:34 UTC  

I don't mean silo'd org's - I mean bottom to top "that way" although a silo'd org with the right people in the right seats can pull it off.

2017-03-09 18:25:17 UTC  

This is mandatory 50 hours
