I did it for 6+ months working for Ubisoft, overtime was paid double, money was good, that's about it.One should be crazy to do 80 hours in QC unless you work for minimum

No but it was around that time that I started posting on a Montreal Gazette board about Habs.That's when you became a Habs fan eh? Yeah I can relate.
But.... I’ve always been nice to youNot enough, based on my rants.
But I might have to start a flamewar with a few people here and I have some ideas.
I was kidding manNo but it was around that time that I started posting on a Montreal Gazette board about Habs.
So you almost worked for free after 40 hours then lol.I did it for 6+ months working for Ubisoft, overtime was paid double, money was good, that's about it.

You worked at Ubi?
Their uconnect sucks.
I recently retired from federal government. Dealt with pay centre many times. Great people. Lousy system.You still working pay center GGpX?
Ive been lucky since i haven't acted and been in same position forever so no pay issues. I did assist people with problems that required involving deputy minister to finally get action. I don't envy GGpX thankless work.I recently retired from federal government. Dealt with pay centre many times. Great people. Lousy system.
At least my cheques stopped when I retired. I had dreams of them continuing with no way to stop.
No OT for me though. At times I could have used it......
Yes, it got to the point with me Alan where I simply didn't look at short assignments because I didn't want the potential hassle.Ive been lucky since i haven't acted and been in same position forever so no pay issues.

Hehehe. Trust me, you don't. The amount of messed up T4s thanks to that is countless.I recently retired from federal government. Dealt with pay centre many times. Great people. Lousy system.

Nothing "requires" me. I could do my regular hours and nobody say a thing. The majority of the people I work with do their regular hours and that's it.Honest question
What requires you to put in those crazy hours ?
I think you have a government job but OT is one thing but doing it multiple weeks ……..
Was that the Habs Locker Room? I started there around 97. What was your handle there?No but it was around that time that I started posting on a Montreal Gazette board about Habs.
It's "pathetic" failure, not "complete" failure.Nothing "requires" me. I could do my regular hours and nobody say a thing. The majority of the people I work with do their regular hours and that's it.
I've been doing less OT since June started because they limited it to 10 hours / week. It hasn't changed much of anything in my day to day routine, though. I work a lot because I've always been a (to quote WeHave) complete failure scholastically and I've always been good at working. Plus, it's never really bothered me and I don't ever feel tired.
In my early 40's I did over 3 years of graveyard shifts, 7 on, 7 off 10 hour shifts plus an hour commute. Killed my marriage and damn near killed me too.I've done 80+ hours, for long stretch of times, never again. In my 20s or earlier 30s I could do it, but I still shouldn't have done it. I was always slightly depressed back then too with misaligned priorities.
My wife was somewhat lucky with Phoenix. She never missed any paycheques like some people and she wasn't overpaid like a few others but at one point she got a promotion and it took nearly 4 years for them to sort out her pay. During that time she had the promotion but was getting paid at her old rate. When they finally sorted it out she got about 10 grand in back pay, which was nice. Since then she's been promoted a couple of times without any lag in pay.I recently retired from federal government. Dealt with pay centre many times. Great people. Lousy system.

Yeah. There's a lot of case types that were downright ignored because a lot of people didn't know how to process them.My wife was somewhat lucky with Phoenix.
