[QUOTE="noril, post: 5588096, member: 105754"] Thank you for these posts. You and I seem to be thinking very much alike on this issue. I didn't want OP at the start of this thread to be longer than it already was, even though I could have said more... $41.52 per hour X 40 hours per week X 52 weeks = more than $80,000 per year gross earnings... That's a reasonable sum of money on which to be living IMO. I remember once hearing an anecdote in which some dad eventually came to lament that he struggled so hard trying to provide for his kids all the things that he DIDN'T have growing up, that in the process he ended up failing to provide for them some even more important things that he DID have growing up... I believe we are all basically the top experts on our own situations, so I have absolutely no desire here to try and hold back people who want some amount of overtime, whatever that amount is. I am just saying that it should be those people who want the overtime that should be the ones filling out a special request form. The "default" setting should be that we are "working to live, not living to work." 40 hours is considered a standard full-time work week. Since when has asking to have ones work week essentially be around 40 hours become a sign of laziness or weakness? [/QUOTE]
