Rowleym Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Love my job, but work waay too much. My car is at about 47th on my list of things to do and that REALLY sucks.ever since I started my job here(two years ago this month) we have had mandatory overtime, often 50+ a week, and begging us for more. Which I took advantage of. But now we are at 40 hours, and its like vacation every day or maybe it feels like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tax for that week was more then I used to take home per week ten years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Work has slowed down these last two months. Working 4.5 days a week and 10hrs max a day has been nice especially on the same salary. I do wish I was home everyday though. Glad the car is done so I can have some relaxation time while home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I haven't worked a 40 hour week in over 7 years. My competition isn't slowing down and neither am I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I work 40-45 every week. Under promise, over deliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I think working overtime gets real old real quick. But that doesn't mean I work a lot more than 40 hours a week. It's nice to be able to do jobs on the side and other things to profit in your spare time. Like starting your own business.

GB-335xiCoupe Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 At end of day on Wednesday, I already logged 36 hours. Salaried, means I will basically take the rest of the week off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've been working OT since the day I started here... Before kids it was 10-15 hours a week, now I'm doing about 5 a week with kids. I could realistically work as much as I want, just choose not to now with kids at home.Expecting 4 boxes today/tomorrow with parts...

I can look into it later if it's still an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Anyone know of any mechanical designers looking for a job or a change, send them my way. Just hired a new guy, who is doing awesome, but another guy gave his notice. Apprently moving back up north the UP is more important than working for me! Kidding, I knew it wouldn't be long before he left. If you have any good candidates, please forward them on. bob (at) c2s (dot) com Thanks!

ClassE Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Finally found this in the boxes of stuff in my basement:My grandfather made this for me when I was about 6-7 years old, because me and the neighborhood kids loved to play "war". He made me this and an AK-47 (which was short lived - broke it almost immediately sliding behind a fence trying to evade "the enemy").

B C Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Very cool, ive thought about that scenario before. I walked to school everyday (1.5 miles) since 1st grade with the neighbor kid that was 2 years older. Then alone in 3rd grade+ Based on todays news headlines my parents would be in trouble with child protective services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
