Had to work the weekend so I have Mon-Tues off. I kind of like having a regular workday off but at the same time I get annoyed I have to work weekends and holidays when everyone else is off. What’s your take on days off?

I used to love having a week day off. Go get my grocery shopping done, all that fun stuff and it would be so quiet out there! Now it never is though. Does not matter what day or time I leave my house, it is always so busy. I did move to a bigger area, but had no idea it’d be 24/7.

Yeaaah.. I think depends on your situation.. for example when I was single I used to love working weekends, and getting week day off because I could get things done since most of things would be open and working regular hours. Also, if I wanted to go for a quick get away: everything was cheaper because of the days and less traffic. However, now that I have a family, I like to get weekends off because its when everyone at home are free too, so we can all enjoy the day together.

I'd prefer to have the weekends off, but that just isn't a thing around here. I'll get a random Saturday or Sunday off, in general I'm usually working at least some portion of the weekend though. It's tough because most of my friends and family are off on the weekends, so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like.

Sorry you just have to suffer . Think positive all the benefits and tips

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
