Title: For those who do it: Six-day work weeks.
Post by: Purge_WTF on June 17, 2009, 11:44:11 AM

  My company recently announced that they're gonna start operating our plant Monday-Saturday starting next month. They say that the odds of everyone there actually working six days a week are slim, but I think it's just a matter of time before the money gets too good to pass up and it becomes permanent. They've already taken away overtime benefits and paid time off. With gas prices the way they're headed and the driving distance I have (twenty minutes on the highway twice a day), you might understand how much of a pain in the ass this could be. Anyone been in a similar predicament?

Fortunately I've never been in that situation and don't plan on it.

I'm trying to direct my life to four day work weeks :D

Yeah..at one company I was at they laid off people, dumped 3x the workload on the remaining then cut pay and all commissions / bonus.

Sucked but the year after they reinstated the pay...but didn't take away the workload.
