WeldfabNeil Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I was wondering what everyone's work hours are like an how they like them?Currently I am working Monday-Friday 3am to about 11 or until the job is done or a good stopping point. Overtime during the week is common. Weekends we rotate or as needed. I work for a company serving the oil an gas industry. I guess it's cheaper to pay overtime then have a oil Derrick or well site shut down. So currently it's 1:30 an I gotta go to work soon, guess time to get off TIA.

Swaglosrevival Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Monday-friday 7-6pm Saturday and Sunday after 12pm to whenever lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ready for this? I work Monday through Sunday, have off Monday & Tuesday. Then work Wednesday through Wednesday, have off Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So 7 on 2 off, 8 on 4 off. Then the cycle repeats. So 1 weekend off a month with the exception of 2 months in the year where I get 2 weekends off. Now to make it even more complicated, any weekday I work is 1230pm through 9pm. Then any weekend I fall on is 7am through 330pm. Oh and you ask how I like it....... I hate it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfwjr Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I work Monday thru Friday and get into the office around 7 am and leave around 4 pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 When I worked I liked the 3PM to 11PM shift, and many times that turned in to a double shift because of emergency repairs and such but I now set my own hours. I am also a firm believer that if you work more than 40 hours a week your cheating yourself........I worked many 16 hr shifts and the money doesn't matter....

pmiller383 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm 8-4 and can usually spend about 5 hours a week working from home if I want to. I have a second job too where pretty much I just work as needed which is usually later at night for 4-5 hours at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWagWorkshop Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 By choice - 3 -12 hour days - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 9am to 9pm- I work from home - Friday is project day, Saturday and Sunday mostly on call. Some days are non-stop crazy, others no calls at all. With 6 weeks off a year, and the fact that I absolutely enjoy my job, and work from home, its not like I am actually working.

Nordraw Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 DamianD, what kind of job is that? must run 7 day a week 24 hours a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 M-F 630-230 no lunch just a short break. Drive to work is different jobsite to jobsite but I'm up by 3:15am regardless(earlier if needed). I am in the north western burbs of Chicago and my average commute it 1.5 hrs( no traffic). I try to make all of my phone calls for material and other trades on my drive but it usually bleeds into home time. I cannot complain. I have been working for the same GC for 10 yrs. been laid off here and there but since I have been running work it's been more and more steady.

kruton Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 7:30 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday no weekends. My week generally consists of meetings to discuss having meetings and then sitting behind the computer. If I'm lucky I get to go out in the field every now and again to visit our jobsites.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 DamianD, what kind of job is that? must run 7 day a week 24 hours a day. Im a mechanic at a wastewater treatment facility, so yeah were up and running 24/7/365. The crazy schedule is to make sure that out of the 3 employees in each department on second shift, there are always at least 2 guys on. I dont mind the schedule, its the hours Im over. Been there about a decade now I kinda expected to be a first shifter by now!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Glad your doing the job, but I don't know if I could handle a wastewater treatment plant!! The smell has to be so baddddd!!! You do must have some space where you can store material for a short time a plant can't run all the time not everything can be running when your repairing.

As hard as it is to believe the smell really isnt that bad. Smells like money to me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastOfTheVee8s Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 10 hr days 8a-6p mon-fri then 5p-3a mon-fri. Back and fourth every week for two months then a month of 12 hr weekends fri-sun 4p-4a.Oh, and that is just a guideline because it's adjusted all the time. I'm single with no kids so it's no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second job was for riverside sewer plant as a general maintenance it was such a cool job smell like shit but I loved that place it was crazy when super bowl time came around and when it was half time there was so much crap that came through lol! Miss that job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
