Overworked

This kinda sucks. I mean, the pay is nice, but I haven't had a day off in a month. We are short handed so I physically can't take a day off. I've even been sleeping in my office at work to save on commuting and stuff...cause they put me on days over the weekend. I'm not a day person. *hugs all of you*

But yeah, that's why I haven't done any updates on my coms and stuff lately. I haven't had the energy or focus

Ouch! That's the kind of job I'd hate to have to work. You should at least get to have one day off a week.

Not really? Assuming he's USA. If he's hourly it's fine as long as he's getting paid for the extra time and gets the breaks mandated by law. Overtime means he gets bonus pay for anything over 40 hours per 7 day period, so it's even more expensive for the employer to overwork one guy than to hire another one and split the hours. I can only assume there's a shortage of people or the hiring process is slow so they physically can't get another person in.

There's no way a employer is happy paying 150% on payroll just to not hire an extra set of hands. There may be state laws but federal it's just more expensive and dumb because it'll drive employees to quit, but not illegal. Your just shooting yourself in the foot as the employer.

Ive been there before. Its rough while its happening but if you keep your nose to the grindstone and make sure that they dont get any ideas about it being "normal" then youre in for some fun surprises when you look at your bank account afterwards.

Take as much time as you need and take care of yourself, we're proud of you for working so hard.
