How much overtime do you work if any?

There is 2 periods during the year, late August and late November (right now, actually) when I have had more than 40 hours overtime in a 2 week paycheck. We design high school football programs for 6 local high schools and they are all designed and printed in a 2-3 week period.

It's 10:19 p.m. right now and I have been at work since 8:30 a.m. - It's going to be a late night. :(

...But WE BEAT MICHIGAN!!! So I work on.

Zero. Our lights get shut off and doors locked at 4:15 every day. Working overtime is actually discouraged in our office b/c our regional VP thinks every spare minute should be spent with family. This is also the dude who tried to rid our parking lot of geese (and the crap they were leaving behind) by chasing them and tossing firecrackers at them (I wish I could say I'm kidding), so you can draw your own conclusions.

Geese crap is nasty...I dont blame your boss. I dont know why you are trying to paint the person as some kind of weirdo. I would toss firecrackers at them as well. Your boss sounds fun actually.

And his emphasis on family is admirable.

I hate the geese too, but trust me...he's crazy. He did this during a workday. We're on a busy street in Blue Ash and hundreds of passers by saw him chasing the geese while trying to throw firecrackers. He's done other idiotic things lately that should earn him a trip to the funny farm. I don't want to get too graphic, but he's also well known for peeing all over the toilet in our office while singing to himself in complete gibberish. Oh yeah, and he told an employee to fish his kidney stone that he had just passed out of the toilet for him b/c he didn't want to get dirty. The dude is insane.

Tell him to bring in some dogs to chase the geese. Now, he cannot just bring in any dogs, he needs to hire specially trained ones. I talked to someone who did this for his property and the geese have not come back.

As far as him being insane, well, just medicate the hell out of him.

I've heard that using fake dead geese can also work. Is that true?

The dog trick is the only thing I have heard that has actually worked for an extended period. I've everything from pouring grape kool-aid on the ground to a controlled hunt to running string a foot off the ground the entire perimeter of the site. I guess whatever works.

I have 545.4 hours of overtime so far this year. Nice paychecks but missing my kids sucks. Since the company I work for adopted a new "LEAN" concept they are not replacing people as they retire or quit. So overtime has increased tremendously.

Now to the end of the year I'll more than likely be down to 40 hours a week... once the new year starts I'll be back up in the 60's... no overtime though... I'm paid based on production, produce and get paid, don't and no pay check... on the flip side I don' have a fixed hourly schedule. I can come and go as I please...
