If the boss/owner/person in charge asks you to stay a few extra hours, to finish the task at hand....
Do you have a problem with that?
If the boss asks you to work through your break....
Do you have a problem with that?
How much over-time is too much?
If the boss asks you to work through your lunch, or just take a 5-10 minute lunch, and then get back to work......
Do you have a problem with that?
Just curious...

It doesnt happen too often but if there is something that kept me up all night, when its finished, she says go home.
she is also very flexible about leaving early for me to attend my kids' events and things like that.
gotta be tough playing video games all day.
IF the boss and company we work for have been more than just a job, and I truly care about them I will do what I have to to help out the company. IF the boss has been nothing but a dick the entire time I've worked at the company and I could care less about the company, than I say fuck him. You gotta give some to get some.....I've been employed in both situations....
now that i am salary, 40 is fine.
id have no problem finishing the task at hand so long as i saw i could finish it within a reasonable timeframe.
i would not work through my break at any ones behest. breaks are there for a reason.
i would be needing 24 hour notice to work any overtime that exceeded an hour
i expect to be compensated for any overtime exceeding an hour.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
In a way it was because we were finding glitches and crashes, most of the other employees hated it because they literally thought it was fun and games, lol. I like trying to break games and finding problems so I liked that job. A lot of the times the code wasn't written for certain parts so it was blocked off and was frustrating for others. Plus trying to duplicate a crash you did.
The funniest game crash I found was in Madden 07, in player editor, I put an afro on a white guy, game crash.
the only bad thing is we dont get paid extra for those hours..but this is how things are..

Also depends on the type of year for me. During the months of January through June, I'm pulling in at least 45-60 hrs a week.
Once July hits, I'm "working" 40 hours. kind of even's itself out.
So if you work in a warehouse, and lets say you are getting freight ready to ship. The truck is there to pick up the freight, and the freight was supposed to have been ready to ship 2 hrs ago. The boss walks in the room and asks you to give up your break, and finish wrapping skids and loading the truck. You are telling me that there is NO WAY you are working through your 10-15 minute break?
Or...
I show up at your warehouse at 11:55. I am there to pick up 3 skids of freight, that will take about 10-15 minutes to load on my truck. You on the other hand are supposed to go to lunch at 12:00. What do you do?
Do you give up 10 minutes of lunh, load my truck, and send me on my merry way?
Or do you say "Im going to lunch, you will have to wait an hour"????
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
yes id do what needed to be done to get the truck loaded and on its way THEN id take my break. you werent so specific before.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
And it amazes me how people who work in shipping and receiving, will act as if I have just asked them to cut off their ears, and pin them to their forehead.....If I ask them to take 5-10 minutes to load my truck before they take their precious break or lunch.

welcome to your 95th year as a truck driver extraordinaire. everyone else in the country is sitting on the back deck grilling burgers, weiners and slammin down cold ones like no tomorrow except for you, the truck drivers of north america. truckers are the hardest working fuckers in the universe. you are almost a navy seal you are so brutal. only a navy seal and a truck driver can stay awake for days at a time and get the job done whilst soo tired and everyone at the warehouses and factories crys and complains about working a saturday or working over 8 hrs a day, staying till 6 to unload or load a truck that's been driving the last 18 hrs strait just to get to the place of shiftless and lazy bullshit.

If they had to deal with what an Over the road truck driver has to deal with...On a daily basis....

Sounds like your getting fucked over pretty good.
Your break is YOUR BREAK and your lunch is YOUR LUNCH.
GO UNION !!!
Employers know the job market is tough and can take advantage.
Develop trade skills and become self employed.
Continue education and find a career. (wait until congress sorts out the tuition mess)
What ever you do, do not be a mute , spineless, ass kisser.
The past 2 decades, employees have been chewed up like a stick of gum and spit out on the street corner.

i see the problem...unions
I worked in a shipping/receiving dept before. And let me tell you....it was work. There would be days I loved you truck drivers...and then there were days that I cursed you guys up a storm :shock:
But in the end, the shit has to get done. Trucks loaded, skids wrapped, stuff to get to sea. You do what you have to do.
Now, if you said you were to be at my docks at 10 am to get loaded and you show up at 11:55 demanding your truck loaded with my shit and you're a dick about it....you bet your ass you''ll be waiting until I'm done and back from lunch. But if you're nice and apologize for being late and you called and told me you'll be late, then I'll load you up. It's all about courtesy.
Would appreciate a serious answer...hehehe
What is your view on Unions?
For/Against?
Reasons?
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
let's talk filthy men's rooms when you really really gotta do a deuce
speedy mccredy is a fucking badass.
yes 99% of the people in this planet would not make it. i would be as bold to say, other countries have tougher ppl who have struggled their entire lives. soft ass american bullshit no solid work ethic fuckers would crumble and weep like children
office people....office folks in the transporting business can kiss a solid driver's frickin rear end
they are the worst and i still want to throttle a few of them. when i made my daily call ins, i am sure i put more than one stupid prick in their place and in a hurry. i was the greatest truck driver in the world :twisted:
