Corporate abuse of employees

I work for a software company. They had our team work 14-18 hour days out if town for 20 consecutive days, following by 14-16 hour days for the next four weeks. Working every weekend basically and several all night sessions.

 

when is it enough and quitting time? There has been no extra $ just vague promises of a nice end of year bonus. At the cost of completely losing your social life. 

 

Is it abuse and quitting time?

You have to know the bonuses are coming. Check with accounting for the forecast and thw budgets.

Wait and see if there's a Christmas bonus. Phone Post 3.0

Yes. They would bring us food so we don't have to stop working.

Try deploying.  It's like that, but for 9 plus months, and people want to kill you.  Just a little perspective.

9 months of this? If I can make within 90% of what I make now why would I do that?

Sometimes projects have extra demands. If this is a normal thing, fuck it, bail. If this is a one time thing, eh, sometimes you have to suck it up.

Try used financial leverage? It takes time to change jobs and you can interview while you are out of town in a conference room 16 hours a day . And when you have 2 mortgages and child support you don't just quit without something else lined up.

if you found out how much money they were making and how little they were paying you you would really feel like a chump

Asking for proof that money's coming in isnt that big of a deal. Ive been in two projects like that, one they hadn't even signed up their firat client for the sodtware, the other, they gad larrady sold 20,000 licenses.


Guess which one i got a bonus on.

Abuse or quitting = feast or famine imo . Hang in there, that huge bonus might actually happen. Phone Post 3.0
