If overtime is available, we work a full day Friday, and 5 hours on Saturday. They cap us at 10 hours overtime.My thoughts, exactly. No one wants to work 60+ hours a week, forever, just to maintain a decent existence. I, for one, am tired of it.
Working 30 hours overtime is practically not worth it, since you're killing yourself to give the government a bigger percentage of that overtime.
I just petitioned the higher-ups to switch our shift to a 10x4 schedule. That way if overtime is available, we still get a 2-day weekend. If not, it's a 3-day weekend. Nobody wants to be at work 6 days per week, especially for 5 stupid hours. I went around and discussed it with everyone (all 10 of us on 2nd), and got 100% approval before I brought it to the bosses. I hope they approve it, because it's miserable the way they have it now.
Comfort is too expensive...
They live.
We sleep.
