we went from hard physical labor to white collar desk jobs but now that technology has progressed so far we’re returning to our roots and having people work more hard physical labor work

is everything really just a circular cycle

When you say we, we never did hard labor, may be 2-3 generations in the past did. We didn’t.

Our ancestors were wolfs, we are chihuahuas.

We as in who?

If a robot can do my status reports, and I get to spend more time in my garden, I’m for it.

Yeah, but the company will own the robot so you won’t get paid.

We do hard physical workouts 🙄

Maybe you do 😀

I just hope that we’ll divert to a 32 hours working week and no overtimes🤓

Maybe, but likely with pay cut accordingly

U.S. manufacturing or trades employment hasn’t really budged.

More people are carrying bedpans but other than that imo the death of white collar jobs is greatly over-exaggerated

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.

How many billable hours do people in prosecution tend to average each month? I’ve gone through waves of feeling like my billable hours requirement is reasonable to feeling like I’m drowning and can’t possibly do it for that long.

Lateral that just went through first bonus season with the firm. Not in a major market but workload is comparable to major markets. Surprised at how low the bonus was.

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.
