That kind of odd behaviour of putting in extra work just puts a target on your back for when layoffs come round

This, and a 35k raise, then another 10k raise again when company A sold us to company B. The corporate life isn't so bad. Even if it costs me 80+ hours of my life a week. Breaking 200k before the age of 30 is alright.

Only reason I put in extra work is because it makes the world a better place. If I worked for a for profit company my actions would be... different.

Inzombiac posted:You guys are getting raises? Yes, but mostly because the executives in the company don't want to lose more people than they already have after the voluntary separation packages were way more popular than they had anticipated and internal surveys indicated that employees were considering other opportunities due to the canceling of raises and the furlough days. My wife even got a bonus and her boss admitted it was pretty much a bribe to keep her in place.

I've never heard anybody in the 60-80 hour overachiever crew say something along the lines of "work hard play hard" in any way that doesn't sound like they are trying to convince themself most of all.

i mean im not going to put in 80 hours a week for what comes out to less money per hour unless i really need the extra money but stepping up a little bit here and there has helped me stand out from coworkers who only ever do the bare minimum and i have been rewarded for it of course we know there are plenty of people who do the bare minimum and fail upwards anyway i guess you could say work ethic is a land of contrasts

I may only make an average wage but I don't ever go beyond 40 hours unless I want and there is a real need. Some people don't like it but not having an expectation of OT makes the tenor of the office a lot more relaxed and, as a consequence, more productive. People who brag about doing 60+ all the time are running from something.

I guess I technically sometimes work after normal hours, but I usually spend about 70% of my working time not working and manage to stay ahead and look good for the bosses.

I’d rather make $50k working 40 hours a week than I would want to make $200k working 80 hours a week unless my job was not a real job but schmoozing and traveling and being a “international manager” or some bullshit Then again I don’t have any expensive hobbies and/or drug addictions

Got paid to do grunt work yesterday. Which is nice because I used to do the same grunt work years ago for less than half of what I'm making now. Get to listen to music, setup some desks and make good money? Yea sure thing.

It’s not just the number of hours you have to look at. My last safety job I was working 60 hour weeks but I still had enough left in the tank to actually do stuff when I get home. My current job is 40 hour weeks but when I’m working my life is basically either work or sleep, I’m too beat for much else.

While this job is a pit of misery that I can’t wait to leave (I’m literally only here for resume time towards my CSP), a lot of it is that it has zero downtime and I’m walking 10-15 miles a night and there’s a lot more physical poo poo to it than there should be because I can’t just throw people at problems despite ostensibly being management. There’s just no people to throw at stuff because of the insane amount of cost cutting (see also, them not replacing me when I transfer)
