40 at minimum, up to 96 if I want a lot of overtime.

Ish.

While I canโ€™t legally get โ€œcompedโ€ (compensated) for any hours over 40 I work, that is exactly what happens we just word it differently. So if I do work over, which does happen, I am afforded the opportunity to take that time off later.

Pretty legit move when no company anywhere would be willing to do that for their employees without legal mandate. I feel like most companies just make their salary employee eat the extra hours.

I like how I can do shift swaps (I work my friends shifts 2 days per week, he works 2 of mine); I only need to work 3 days per week, 2 double shifts and 1 single shift, gets my 40 hours and I can have 4 days off. Hell a friend of mine only works 6-8 months per years, doing a lot of swaps, then lines up the paybacks to get 4-6 months straight off, still getting full pay.

If I had to work a standard 8 hours 5 days a week I'd go insane.

This too, and I always leave early on Fridays as a result of this (also take "Fitness Time" at the end of the day and so get three free credit hours a week just for that).

When I'm in the office. In the field it's a minimum of 84 (7 12s), but I get a daily bonus that pretty much doubles my pay.

Working 70+ hours a week, you should be able to retire in your 40s. Worth it if you're willing to lose out on other life aspects.

yeah i work the usual 40 hour work week at some corporate company for 40k/yr

the wagie memes are real. the depression is real. cant believe i gotta do this for another 35 years. it really isnt much different than prison life. same routine over and over and over. youre treated like youre easily replaced (cause you are) so you constantly have to act like a good little quiet cuck and the only way to get higher up is to be in with the family.

My time sheet says I work 40 hours a week.

But I usually work from home so putting in more than 3-4 hours of actual work a day is the usual.

I'm expected to but for example,

Yesterday ui drove 5 hours to hand a potential customer a paper and say hi

Then I went to a hotel and played league of legends.

Now I'm at the hotel miscing.

Work pays for all my meals and gas.

Soon I'll leave here and drive home and call it a day

My boss is fine with 32 hours if the work is completed. If you factor in the time I am wasting at work, it is significantly less.

One week a month I probably work closer to 48 hours though
