Work 10 hr days so far, and is because i like being ahead with my work and do some extra research and stuff. I could be working 8 hr days. Some build days we do end up staying a little over time... but usually i get out of here at 6.30. before i we had a stretch of work of like 12 hr days avg, for like 6 months haha.
I'm on salary... so i don't get overtime paid up. But... bonuses at the end of the year count on hrs spent and dedication to your work and team. So you might get a bigger bonus on the amount of work and quality. Which is nice... at least we get recognized for that as well.
I keep trying to work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, but my damn boss won't let me! I even offer to do it without overtime pay (for now). What a jerkoid! And now I hear he calls interviewees "gay"? Man.... Somebody call HR on that guy. :poly142:
Saying that this kind of thing happens at every studio doesn't make it right. I worked at a place where we were expected to work overtime like crazy. Their poor management and stubbornness affected the lives of the employees and really deteriorated the work quality and peoples moral. It was so bad, that i had to go in…
