Title: Work?
Post by: stroh on November 28, 2006, 05:24:21 PM
Days:  Mon - Fri.
Hours: Rotating 7:30-4, 8-4:30, 8:30-5
Weekends:  Every 4th Saturday
Holidays:  Paid.
Vacation:  PTO(very thin, ~2.5 weeks)
Paid: Hourly

I have wanted for a while to move to 3 12 hour days/week.  I don't see it happening. :sad3:

Mon-Fri : whenver I want, but basically 930-530  (occasionally more, occasionally less)
Sat/Sunday (and evenings): whatever is needed to get the week's work finished

Vacation: supposedly 10 personal/sick days on top of the university holidays (which I work anyways because FINALLY there's nobody else around!)

Pay: salaried.  you can't get a 40 hour week anyways when 8-12 hours a week are tied up in meetings/presentations/phone conferences.   You work till you get what you need to get done done

Benefits: about 75% premium paid of best offered health insurance (basically spend nothing more than $20 for anything ever in network) for me and sal,  free bus/shuttle pass, great internet conxn for surfing around during breaks, subsidized software costs

Days:  M-F with plenty of Sa-Su.
Hours: 7:00-6:00 although last night it was 8:00 and I'm still here right now.
Weekends:  As the job requires, and it does.
Holidays:  After a base salary I bill hourly.  If I don't work, I get less.
Vacation:  See holidays.
Paid: See holidays.

SBO-ship can be nice and it can be brutal.  Yes, you get to call the shots but you're the one who pays if you make the wrong call.  Oh, and never forget, your boss is a complete tool.   ;D

I tell my son all the time that school is his "job" and I'm the guy who pays his wages.  If he tries hard and/or does well, life is good.  If not, hit the soup line brother.

Paid: Salaried Exempt

7 on 2 off.
8 on 4 off.

My shift is either 3:30pm to 12:30am, or 9:30am to 6:30pm.  I get one of three weekends off, and that one is a four day weekend (Friday to Monday). 

Because of this shift rotation, I get tons of opportunities to golf during the week.  I rarely, if ever, golf on weekends.

Mon-Fri (on call on weekends, don't ever get called save a serious PR crisis)
Hours are typically 8:30-5 though not set in stone
40-60 hours per week, depending on week, time of year, PR crises, etc
Salaried/Exempt
Holidays: 13 per year
Vacation/Sick: Accrued, amounts to roughly 5 weeks per year

Yep.  Thanks.  Cool.

Was just curious.  The H.C.O. that I have worked in/with for most of my career, sold a "name" out west.  Colorado, and wherever else.  I just wondered if you were part of that.  Health One/ Health Span.  Here it is now:  ALLINA.

Don't know that name. We're the largest healthcare provider in Utah, but pretty small on a national level.

No, the facility by Stonebridge is all Health Plans (insurance) and IT employees. My office is in the Metro Business park in West Valley (2200 S 1300 W). I'm much closer to Glendale  [sm_disgust]. Don't know a Mike Devilla (can't find him in the directory either), but we have 26,000 employees and I probably only know a couple hundred of them.

Was pretty standard until just recently. Layoffs are hitting as I type this.

My boss was always flexible with us "come in get your stuff done get out".

Hours 8-4, 7-3, 9-3, 7-2...whatever.

Vacation accrued at 13 hours per month until we hit 160 hours and then you had to use it or lose it.

Sick leave accrued at 7 hours per month and could go on infinitely.

Tough to continue working knowing your job is going away. I was in that situation about 5 years ago. The fact that my boss at the time was a good friend was the only reason I even put forth an ounce of effort.

One of the nice things about where I work is that I can bank up to 1,000 hrs of PTO before I get to a "use it or lose it" mandate.

LOL. I don't think we're a priority stop on any BM touring act's schedule, but we've got some pretty good rare record shops here. The biggest problem for him, I suspect, is that as an oenophile, he'd have a pretty tough time rounding out a serious collection. (Though the wine store is actually pretty good, they just don't always have that specific label you're looking for.)

I think he's gone at this point.  He was an IT guy.  I've done some consulting work with him.  Good guy. 

Glendale vs. Stonebridge.  LOL, paints a picture alright.

9:30am-6pm base + early mornings, late nights, holidays, & weekends as needed (randomly)

The best thing, though, is that the sick leave policy is "Please don't come to work and infect us all".

Ah, okay.  One of my family's closest friends works in the I.T. dept. and I was wondering if you might know him.  Or maybe if he has worked on a comp you have used. lol.  But he's only been there a year and a half or so.  His name is Mike, too, but with a different surname of course. And then there's my best friend's Dad, who is a neuro tech.  He's been there for, hmm, approx 20 years (give or take) I think.


I'm not very familiar with Suburban Imaging, though.
