I'm working zero hours per week.

In my usual life, I tend to work 50+ hours. I usually log three long 12 hour days, one shorter day where I try to have a midweek life, and I'm out of the office prompty on Friday afternoon. I never work weekends. Ever.

I run in the 40-50 range. If I get called upon during my off time, I just go in a little later the next day since my salary is based on 40 hours.
When I was hourly, I would be in the 60-70 range and rack up the OT

Between 55 and 65 hours a week. Unfortunately I'm on salary and don't get any overtime.

I'm AT work from 8:30am-5:30pm M-F so 45 hours.......however I realistically only work about half that time.

Got a vaca coming up next week and then we get x-mas week off too (not to mention the 3 days off we just got for turkey day), so I'm hoping it dumps all December like it did last year. Freakin turns galore.

I was moved to a salary position on Sun. so no more overtime for me.:sad:

On a regular week i work around 50 hours. However holiday time I work like crazy. Lets take X-mas week for example. I looked at the schedule and I am working 10 straight days of 13 hours.........:-o I hope they don't actually expect me to be there that much.

As our business continues to grow..I imagine I'll eventually work more hours. When I first began 4 years ago there were the same number of employees but our volume was significantly less. To help justify my salary..I hit the road and cold-called on alot of funeral homes..some of whom are our dealers who have really helped increase business. The current employees have to work more...if we hired more employees..things wouldn't be as profitable and then raises wouldn't be as good. Hopefully business will grow enough that I'll have an assistant..I can dream..lol
