Plug: come work for Pivotal. We do 9-6 all day everyday.
- kenjackson 9y agoI'm not sure I want to work 9-6 everyday. I still like my weekends.
- paloaltokid 9y agoFair enough, it's only Monday through Friday.
- tedajax 9y agoThat's 1 hour too long.
- yladiz 9y ago9-6 is normal, if you count lunch. It's just 8-5 pushed one hour ahead so you can sleep in.

- zzalpha 9y agoThis varies. Some places do a 37.5 hour work week, 9-5 with a 30 minute lunch. Others do 9-6 with an hour. There's also no shortage of places (such as my workplace) that do 35 hour work week, 9-5 with 1 hour lunch. Well, assuming you work for a company that puts much stock in ass-in-seat time (which, lucky for me, I don't).
- paloaltokid 9y agoPivotal targets a 40-hour work week. If you have to work beyond that you get comp.
- paloaltokid 9y agoYep, lunch is 12:30 to 1:30 every day.
- tedajax 9y agoIMO I'm only eating lunch there because I have to work there. My lunch time is work time.
- _sdegutis 9y agoIf you guys had a home office position for some of the skills I have, I'd definitely have applied.
- paloaltokid 9y agoWhat are your skills? Some folks work remote.
- _sdegutis 9y agoIt runs the gamut but mostly open source languages/frameworks. Just finished my online resume/portfolio this week actually: https://sdegutis.com/ https://sdegutis.com/
- paloaltokid 9y agoLooks like the kind of experience Pivotal likes. For what it's worth there's a Labs office in the Merchandise Mart. You can always try to apply and explain what you're looking for. I know they've hired a few people who work from home most of the time. You won't be able to do 100% remote though.
- treyfitty 9y agoHow is this something to brag about? 9-6 everyday is terrible. That's 55-60 hours a week depending on ones lunch preference. And weekends? No way. Note to self: never work at Pivotal.
- paloaltokid 9y agoIt's not bragging, it's just what we do. Lunch is 12:30 to 1:30 every day. Some people may not like, that's totally fine. Also, we only work Monday through Friday. It's not a prison camp for heaven's sake.
