Where I work, If you accept OT you have to take all that is assigned or get off the OT list.
I will have 76 hours of OT in November. Scheduled for 96 hours in December. I suspect the Linemen for Power companies are getting alot right now. Likewise the LEOs and EMS guys in the Northeast. God Bless them. |
| Right now I think we're offering about 2.5x what is likely the average person's pay if they'll work OT. So far I haven't worked any for months and I'm quite ok with that, though I'll be going in thanksgiving and blackfriday to let the non-single guys spend some time with their families. |

As suspected. ARFCOMers are some hard working MoFos.  We really do have a bunch of hardworking people here. I work 40-50 hours a week and go to school full time, granted I'm not pulling 80 hours like some guys here, but I'm doing something productive at least 60-70 hours a week. |

Our company has asked us to not take overtime the past couple months due to the instability in the coal industry. The company responsible for 50-60% of our work is in bankruptcy right now.
I did get 5 hours and a Friday odd on my last pay period. I don't mind taking the extra hours off on Fridays. |
62.5 hours last week, 54 hours this week. Taking 12.5 credits at school, and trying to get my house ready to sell. I am flipping tired all the damn time.
Did I mention that I work a rotating 12 hour schedule, so OT means I have one day to switch from days to nights and nights to days.

| Im a draftsman for a integrated control systems company. We design and build control systems that run waste water treatment plants and drinking water systems for towns/cities. Most weeks I only have enough work to keep me busy for about 36hrs. Last week I managed 2 hours of OT. This week would have been aboiut 5 OT hours but Sandy fucked that up, managed 2. This coming week should be about 10, and itll be like that for a few weeks. With my 30th, and Christmas coming, itll be nice. |

I am salaried. I worked 90 hours last week. No overtime pay, but in this economy it beats not having a job. this I'm about 70 hours a week I did that at my last job, still got laid off. Doing the same at the current gig. Expecting different results. Think Einstein said something about that... |

I can get as much overtime as I want, but I still choose to work 40-hour weeks. At the most, put in maybe 5-hours of OT per week unless we are super swamped.
Don't get me wrong –– I've worked lots of overtime in the past. I just have more important things to do than sit in front of a computer for 12 hours/day doing my boring job until my eyeballs fall out of my head from staring at the screen.
My wife makes ~2x as much as I do. If she didn't make that much, or if I made more, I would probably work more overtime. There's a point where you have to look at your life and realize you are trading precious moments of being alive for pieces of green paper. There's a threshold where you say "This just isn't worth it." You'll know it when you get there. |

0-15 hours a week. The company changes on the subject almost weekly, early in the quarter they decide that they want to focus on reducing the cost of doing business, so they beat us up about OT, close to the end of the month and they want to pump up the customer numbers, so they beg us to work OT to connect subscribers. I am willing to work the OT, often as much as I can get because I am not rich and I can always use the money, but I hate working it. I used to work for Nortel in the DMS installation department, Private Carriers Accounts, 100% travel, and 80 hour weeks were common, 100 hour weeks weren't unheard of. |
