If you channeled all of this energy to try and disprove all of these issues into bettering yourself and your own situation you might find yourself not so saddened with those "missed" opportunities because you'd have new ones to worry about instead.

You're not a bad person and nobody here hates you, just try to become an easier person to deal with.

Honestly he just needs to stop worrying about the rules and how people break them or bypass them and start thinking about how he can exploit loopholes and advantages for his own personal gain.

If you can't beat 'em, join em.

:dat:

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.
I am only 22 but likewise. It's important to be able to be super cool with people.

Photo dump of today's trip to downtown Seattle. Visited the market, the Space Needle, and the EMP. Also found a super awesome chinese food place in both the market and downtown to eat at.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

How can you be reached on the dragon, do you carry some 007 gadget that gives you cell service?

:iono: how anyone lives like that, with work always priority number one and actually living your life being whatever you can do while waiting for more work to happen.

When the phone rings you have to drop everything (or wake up) and get down to business no matter what? What if you're :drunk: or in the woods with :baby: or whatever... being a human being?
And here's where I agree with you. It's unfortunate that I was put on call for this weekend, without much notice, I mean...I have plans. I can't just cancel. This is why I look for a work/life balance. If I knew that I was on call a month ago, honestly, it's whatever...but to let me know the WEEK OF? It's a bit ridiculous. How else can you live? How else can you plan?
I'm going to agree with the :crang: and the :mahtroy: here, being put on call for the weekend the week of is unreasonable.

However, I also agree with :[user not found]: in that the boss is probably working with extenuating circumstances.

Talk to him/her. I'm sure you can reach a compromise.

That's unrealistic. 1500 hours of work is 31ish hours over 49 weeks a year. 1950 hours is realistic for a 50k a year job.

Research shows that the hours there are more productive as a result too. (source: DFD is most active during work hours)

I truly think we could increase productivity by cutting hours. It will start happening in a couple years as the boomers die.

IDK. The 40 hour week is ingrained pretty deeply in our culture. And IMHO i think it works for a manufacturing job that takes little skill, like assembly lines.

But for the modern economy that is basically service based? :nope:

sure, 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.

Oh, I definitely agree than the per-hour metric drops off as the week goes on.
Again, unique to my situation are other variables, such as lack of personnel in the office on Friday to distract me from working, and knowing I'm getting time + .5 is a motivator for a :scrooge: like myself.

I would be more productive if my work day was cut in half. I don't know what I do half of time I'm at work anyways.

:crang: don'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.

Apple has robots that take apart their devices in their stores so they can fix them. They just pay a guy to make sure the robots don't break.
