For first two years I never worked weekends, and certainly not holidays!
As a PL I started working 2ish hours on Sundays to prep for the week and calm my Sunday scaries.
Globally peak hours look like 9a-11p M-Th and 9a-6p Fri, on heaviest weeks which happen probably 20-30% of the time when on a big case (with breaks for dinner, dog walking, etc). Valleys look like 9a-7p M-Th and 9a-4p F.
Most of the time, somewhere in between and also depends on the day to day! And many weeks in between cases with very little or no work.
Thanks! Are the expectations that you don’t work much between cases or are you expected to spend time on training or business development?
Log off at 3 pm on Friday, and start up at noon on Sunday
I work every day! I am working between 55-60 hours per week. I joined a new product/ consulting company 4.5 months ago.
It’s all “emergency / urgent”!
It’s silly and it’s really starting to affect me negatively.
And the pay is not equitable to these type of demands.
That is a dreadful combination… but it appears rampant in the GTA!
