OT: How many hours did you work last year?

[Thad]

I added them up last night and came up with 2,598. Crazy Millman probably had that many hours in by mid July.

If I had to guess.... Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500, give or take a hundred.

[chris m]

I'm thinking around 2,500 would be a pretty good guess; maybe 2,700 factoring in the moonlighting

'Bout all of I think.

[MACHINEMASTERG]

i probubly put in around 2600 hours here but how many were spent working im not sure of

[Paul Decelles]

too many....

[Tony]

2500 hrs +

I would Love to never work another

Saturday Ever.

Life is to short....

[Code_Breaker]

3100+ not counting part time work . . . time for a vacation . . . kids grown and gone . . . just me and my wife and she works 2300+.

[MATT Q]

Man you guys have worked some hours I've only got 2200 in this year and probably none for this year not very busy at all I don't like that hopefully it will pick up that or I'm just getting to fast at what I do. me say working my self out of work:(

[MATT Q]

I meant no overtime +1 more

[crazy^millman]

Hum let me see. Average of 62 Hours a week minus the 3 weeks I was off. Then add the stuff I do at home about 10 hours a week. so 72 hours a week at 49 weeks. That doesn't seem possible but seem like over 3500 hours. I need to be shot in the head is all I can say.

 

Crazy Millman

[robk]

Over 2900 hrs. this past year.

[Philcott]

Far be it for me to tell anyone what to do. I wouldn't assume that arrogance.

 

It seems to me that you guys work too much. Life is too short to spend it all at work. Especially if you have kids. Take them to a movie, go camping, paddle a canoe, show them how to bait a hook. Just get out and enjoy life.

 

There is an old saying "work to live don't live to work".

 

No offence is meant by this post. I am just concerned you spend too much time at work.

 

Phil

 

For me about 2100 hrs

[Dan Bedore]

a little under 2500 here plus some contract work.

[Thad]

You'd be hard pressed to find a job near Detroit that would allow you to take Saturdays off. 6 days a week is the norm.

Pffffttt...

 

I'll work every once in a while but NOT every Saturday. I'm salary though. I'd rather put in 12's during the week (same as working 6 10's). Only if I were facing unemployment would I allow a situation like that in my life. I have a life outside of work thankyou very much. Of course I'm up front about that before I even hire on.

I had to work every Sat.

From June through August.

There back, Saturdays all through January.

Not to bad 4 months straight without them.

[chris m]

6 hour Saturdays are the RULE, not the exception in this neck of the woods.

 

We worked 7-day weeks from the end of October thru Christmas; Thanksgiving was the only day off over about a 6-week span.

 

Whatever it takes...

That's good to know in case I move some day. I know where NOT to go.

 

In my opinion overtime sucks. It's a convenient way for the company to say you're well paid when in reality you're a slave to your job not making squat.

[mayday]

+1 to chris

 

round here there's no such thing as 40hr weeks unless you work for a dunp that cant get work, or you do redundant production.

hhhmmm

 

nope, good guess tho

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Perhaps i should have said it a bit different.

 

How about it's a good way for the company to say you're making 70k a year when really 20k of it is OT and should not "count".

1960 or less for me. Had to stay late only once for 1/2 hour.

[jenks]

2435 hrs (-/+ 7.5)

 

The overtime is mandatory, but we are allowed to get someone to fill in for us if we don't want it. Thanks be to the young ones!

 

I'm getting too old for the hours I used to have to work. 11.5hrs a day for 7 days a week for 45 weeks.

 

But on the plus side, I also got 8 weeks vacation last year.
