I guess companies are getting a discount on employees with bad Engrish.

jk

This year my company has a no going into overtime rule.  I'm working on a new version of a program I worked on last year.  The client makes last minute changes and expect us to make the original deadlines, I made 8 grand in overtime last year on this project.

When the client made changes this year my company tells them we can make the deadline if they're will to pay us the overtime.

So now we're not making overtime and instead of hustling to at least try and add the new changes to make the deadline, I'm posting here.

Ah.
Standard workday at my company is 9 hours.
But we do get one friday off every two weeks. (the other friday is a "short" 8 hours. lol.)
They call that 9/80

Be happy you have a job.  US Dept of Labor puts the latest unemployment rate at 9.7%.

+1.

Swing shift sucks (Ive worked it off and on, more on than off, for the last 27 years), but it pays the bills.
