You poor soul. That is not the standard. I work strictly 7.5 hours a day for 5 days. Anything else = pay me more for my time.
If you are working your schedule (10 hours a day, what the actual fuck), you are being taken advantage of.
- Nicholas_C 13y ago>10 hours a day, what the actual fuck I'm confused at your balking. Perhaps because I work in finance and shit hours are the norm, but 10 hours a day is not ridiculous. I work that almost everyday unless it's a busy week.
- miloshadzic 13y agoYeah, finance. That explains it.
- rfnslyr 13y agoI'm in finance...
- Nicholas_C 13y agoWhat do you do in finance?
- rfnslyr 13y agoI develop internal applications in the investment banking sector.
- Nicholas_C 13y agoAh, by in finance I meant working directly in finance. I work as a financial analyst.
- rfnslyr 13y agoEven my buddies who work directly as analysts pack their shit up at a certain time. I guess it's just that we have great management that cares for us. It's our banks policy to very strictly enforce work life balance. You get scolded if you do too much over time, regardless if things aren't getting done.
- Nicholas_C 13y agoI would like to clarify that I would love to work 40 hours a week. I was only saying that 50 hours isn't exactly horrible.
- vijucat 13y agoI used to slightly better hours in Hong Kong, but now I hear it has got worse (i.e., other have echoed the 10 hours per day number that you mentioned). I was offered an Executive Director role at a big bank and could not get myself to say 'yes' because we all know what that means : blackberry operator 24 x 7. :-(
