i am going to work then i am coming home then i i am going to work again in the morning Only the HDIC's (Head Dick in Charge) butt kissers get the forth off I have never been very good at butt kissing so i gotta work.
I plan to be up to my monkey brow in short loins all day. Come home drink a shot and beer and probably be in bed by dark!!! Gotta love the overtime! Looking at a 64 hour paycheck this week!
Staying home today and resting up. Got some much needed OT at some of our other stores. That doesnt happen often, but might be my last day off for a couple weeks. But the money will be good! Happy 4th everyone!
i worked til 4 then ended up going to my parents for bbq. had baby back ribs. then watched gun smoke reruns. drove by a couple firework shows on the 40 minute drive home so i think i got it all.
how do you guys get so lucky with this OT. last 3 companies i worked for warned heavy about OT. You would be afraid they would string you up for 15 minutes over. I used to get tons of OT before i moved to Va and the ecomony tanked. Now everywhere i go there are very strict rules about OT.
fdarn: Blame it on the hiring freeze. It costs too much to hire new people, so they just work us old dogs into the ground. We've gone through that whole "don't work one minute over" episode, but now we're just so rocking busy, nobody cares. The bank account is loving it. The back and shoulder and feet, not so much...
Its a real rarity for OT at my company too. Im only alowwed 38 hours a week but some stores are short and need cutters bad so Im seizing the oppurity while I have it! LOL Economy is just as bad here also no one is getting rich thats for sure!
you guys sound like u gotta fight for overtime im always getting 60 to 80 hour paycheks..lol.......i gotta fight to only work 40 sometimes...........gotta repect the overtime when you get it i guess it doesnt last forever..............
forth of july i went to my brothers in buffalo......and relaxed and visit with some family
If you're getting OT pay consider yourselves lucky. We've really clamped down on the OT but we've had rocking sales so a little OT for the cutters is okay. I'm talking 1-4 hours per 2 week pay period.
im get paid weekly like i get my 40 hours then i get another 20 to 30 hours but i put in long days sometimes 6 7 days a week some day ill be there 5 and there till 7 or 8 at night.............i dont get time and a half though the deal i made was get paid the hours i work....for straight time........im down to just one cutter....im gonna be horeing ........its me and a cutter not fully trained in a 50,000 + a week store.........so i have to work like that

Jesus! That's worse than a sweat shop! What is your labor margin? It sounds like it's about 7-8 %. One major problem with letting anyone work this way is it increases the probability of on-site injuries. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
I save around 5,000 a month in wages".......it's not that bad I'm fast .......the store before this one we did 120000 to 150,000 a week and were very undertaffed so I'm use to the pace.......I do around 530 dollars per man hour I believe it was......
