Crazy. But I don't think it really works anymore. I mean I can honestly say I am not productive unless I need to be. Sometimes that could mean 30 hours for the week, sometimes that can mean 10. But the fact that I have to be at the office for 40 hours for no reason...is mind boggling. Like when I was at the client's site waiting for them to fix something for me to continue. I literally couldn't work for about 3 entire days, that's 24 hours I did absolutely nothing, yet was forced to be in their office.dubshow wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2017 10:02 amdon't history.
In 1890, the US government began tracking workers' hours. The average workweek for full-time manufacturing employees was a whopping 100 hours.
Seventy-five years ago, on October 24, 1940, the eight-hour day and 40-hour workweek became standard practice in a range of industries. It was a long, drawn-out battle between workers and government officials.

We have no outside investors. I mean when I say nothing to do, I mean I am studying...but if I'm "on the bench", means there's no projects for me to go to (consulting) then what am I supposed to do lol. Also, the issue of me not doing anything at the client is the client's fault...they were paying for me to be there, haha.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2017 10:27 amThat's an internal organisational problem in your company and would be a huge red flag to an investornuggstein wrote: Crazy.

Also, I just found out my manager once sent out the on-call schedule the day AFTER a month started. Someone spoke to her, and she said that she sent it out now vs. a month before was that "she used to send it out a month in advanced, but no one would read it." I think that's bullshit.

I remember reading stuff like this from a history book in middle school. There was a protest on one of the cards saying "We demand to work 8 hours a day" or something like that. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was to prevent great depression or something along the lines.dubshow wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2017 10:02 amdon't history.

Working hard and networking are so fucking important. I've gotten to exactly where I am because of the people I've met and impressions I've made in my line of work.

Seattle is a great city.

Been in morning meetings all week that are lasting from 8 AM to 12 PM.
On the plus side, they're buying me breakfast sandwiches and lunch. Today I had a sausage and egg sammy for breakfast with an orange juice, and lunch was build your own tacos catered. It was pretty damn good.

I think I could be productive in a 15-20 hour work week. But after that im on amazon, forums, or youtube.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2017 9:10 amsure, but there is a curve, and most people are most productive between 30-40 hours a week, then it drops off. you still might get more done to a point, but the per-hour productivity drops.
Again, this is on average.

I had a Philly at Penn Station, company carded the fuck out of it. I planted some seeds at a studio this morning that should get us some solid business, so I earned that $10 sandwich.
