Default Whats your work schedule like?

Well I just found out that my work schedule has changed today. It went from a 10am to 9pm (M-F) to a 10am to 10pm (M-F) and a 10am-6pm on Saturday for the rest of this year.

I'm kinda bummed, but I understand why its being done.

Anyone else have a hectic work schedule, something crazier than mine? (Btw, these are just our normal work hours...I haven't even thrown in any overtime yet.) The closer it gets to December the more hours I'll end up putting in. oh joy!

Let me guess, you're a devloper or are in the software industry. I don't know of any other people that can come in at 10 a.m. and start work that late.

Pretty good guess. I'm in the Gaming Industry and we are in 'crunch' mode. I am a game developer for Sony...and we've got a limited amount of time left to ship a product

10-10... those are retail hours too, especially around the holidays. Guess what one of the industries I refuse to work in is?

You probably here this all the time...but is it fun working in that industry? I realize you don't play games all day but it's got to be pretty cool to see something that you've had a hand in creating hit the store shelves. And since you work for Sony, do you have the opportunity to "tweak" current games, i.e., GT3?

I'm an ME and I travel ALOT for work. But when I'm working regular office hours, my regular day is from 11am-5:30pm with a 2 HOUR LUNCH!!!

I guess it balances out a little more now that every trip takes an extra 3 hours for security....



All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:54 PM.
