Well, im only scheduled for 8 hours a day, but overtime is quite common.

I work in a Iron Foundry, i hate the job.

Isn't it federal law they can't force work past 40 hours?

 

[ohtwell]

3 x 13, because you get to work one less hour!

I currently work 3x12.5 paid 40. Fri-Sun. Wouldn't have it any other way. When I get off, I still have enough time to go hang out for a while and still get a decent night of sleep.

During my week off I work at two other part time jobs. Both of which are only when I feel I have time to work and aren't really mandatory hours. I try to put in another 20hrs at these jobs during the week, but sometimes I just don't work at all.

 

[Ryan]

I'd definitly do 3 on, 4 off.

 

[Platypus]

I'm a UNIX Sysadmin, supposed to do 5x8 however I end up doing a few 12-14 hour days anyway most weeks

 

[EngenZerO]

i work 4 days w/ the days being 10 hours. love it... could do the 3 and 12... but that is too much.

 

[Shimmishim]

i'd like the 4x10 as well.

my company is interesting in that they do their time schedules or sheets in 80 hour blocks.

so some people actually do 8 hours a day for 10 days.

some do 9 days and work 9 hours a day (minus one day where you work 8) and you get every other Friday off.

when you travel, it's almost expected that you will be working 4x10.

 

[jimbob200521]

I'd like to have the 4 days a week, 10 hours per day. But as it stands right now 5 days a week, 8 hours per day.

 

[Feneant2]

I do 5x8 but might consider something else if I had the work. It's too slow for me to do anything else otherwise I might do 4*10. I could not do anything more due to it being considered overtime.

What kind of work are you doing at these jobs?

wow 7 days, what kind of work do you do

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

My wife works 3 x 12~14 hrs. per day at the hospital. She has so much free time off it's sickening.

I'm jealous. I'd do 3x13 in an instant!
JR..

 

[CollectiveUnconscious]

Right now it's summer, so my grad students do most of the work. I just come in to hang with them maybe 2 hours a day. I had a grant proposal, about 2 weeks ago, that had me spending about 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the office. Now that is over, so I'm back to ~2hours a day, 5 days a week. I'm thinking about going on vacation for 2 weeks, then starting to create my syllabus and lesson plan. Now, October-December, and March-May, I spend about 30 hours a week on campus spread over 7 days, and about 30 hours a week at my home office.

 

[lokiju]

4x10 is what I'd like.

 

[SearchMaster]

4x10. My brain starts to hurt after 10 hours or so, so 13 hour days would kill me.

 

[oboeguy]

LOL so naive... I used to work 5 days a week, 12 hours a day. It sucked. Anyway, 3x13 would be nice!

wow 7 days, what kind of work do you do

well m-f i work at a mall as security. mostly just walking around and definitely plenty of sitting down breaks

on the weekends i work at the W&M university center, spending an hour or two emptying trash cans and cleaning the bathrooms but getting paid for 11 hours of work :-D. i take plenty of naps on the weekend

 

[Powermoloch]

I'll do the 4 x 10 too.

I'm pretty happy with my 3 x 10 workshift

 

[dxkj]

3 days a week I work 12 hours a day
4 days a week i work 12 hours a day


alternating weeks
so 36 hrs one week, then 48 the next

 

[EyeMWing]

I used to be 2x4@$6.75. WORST JOB EVER.
Before that (same place), I was 7x6 (with a few 5 hour days thrown in there) at the same rate. Wasn't as bad, but still pretty ******.

Now, I'm on flex hours, with my only set times being Tues for 4 hours, and Saturday for 5, but I can show up whenever else I want so long as I do something productive. THAT'S hot.
