Weekend workers, unite!

Well, I'm stuck in the office again, with the offer of overtime lurking tomorrow too.

Been here since 9, and here til 10.30pm... so who else is slogging it out in a crispy-fluorescent white light haven on such a nice sunny weekend?

What do you do?

Mucky_Pup · 29 Jan 2011 at 10:21

I'm at work now, get time and half, can stop till 4 if I want but I'm leaving at 12. Easier work on weekend, I work as a maintenance engineer in a factory. Not in tomorrow as I'm out on the booze tonight.

Cosimo · 29 Jan 2011 at 10:21

In the office for over 12 hours. Are they making it worth your while?

Vonhelmet · 29 Jan 2011 at 10:24

I'm in the office. Been in since half eight, and I'll be here till about half twelve, then got to get home to the kids. I'll be in tomorrow again.

At least I can get the TOIL.

I love not working weekends! Though I do work the occasional one, and don't get paid any extra for it!

I'm on extended holiday at the mo. so no

I always try to choose jobs that don't do weekends or shift work. The weekends are mine

I'm only working today and then off tomorrow and Monday. Last weekend was my first full weekend in since the start of December so it was pretty painful

Hopefully not for much longer...

MeatLoaf · 29 Jan 2011 at 13:04

Ive got to do 3pm-11pm today

Vonhelmet · 29 Jan 2011 at 13:09

I'm planning to take the TOIL on Valentine's day so I can spend the day in bed with my wife while everyone else is at work. Then I will win the prizes!

OriginalJonty · 29 Jan 2011 at 13:12

I don't work weekends but the amount of family errands I have to do I may as well be working.

Amp34 · 29 Jan 2011 at 13:18

It's sunny outside? Didn't realise it was, curtains are closed and I'm watching a film in bed. May get up later...

KaHn · 29 Jan 2011 at 13:21

Yeah I'm in but out of need (and some choice) getting paid for it so dont mind

I enjoy my work

same here

Would get time and half if over 40 hours but dont get anythign extra if i worked the weekend.

Also same for bank holidays with me i dont get anything extra for them.

its very rare i work weekends but christmas time I tend to bang out the overtime doing 59 hours a week.

Time for you to laugh at my non-existent future and career, I do admin and call centre work for a large mobile phone retailer, both customer support and insurance admin.

Time and a half all weekend, which is about £13 an hour.

It doesn't pay too badly though, last year including overtime I took home about 18k after tax, which most people wouldn't get out of bed for. Ah well....

TOIL is your employers being cheapskates. Go for the cold hard cash!
