93.51%
That's the percentage of my annualized billing quota I achieved in 7 months. I thought 281 hours with no days or holidays off in November was a lot, December was 300 hours on the nose, no holidays off. I was scheduled for 2 weeks of PTO in December....that went out the window.
Starting to feel like slave labor. Better see some amazing things in my next review....just saying.... For the 7 months I worked, I was expected to bill 882 hours, I billed 1,571, or 178.12% of budget. Bonus faucet shuts off at 110%. |

heard a story years ago, they were interviewing Pres. Reagan, and asked him about how he handled the 70-90% tax rates back in the 50s and 60s when he was still making movies.
he said he and Nancy got together, figured out how much they needed to earn to cover all their bills, and then he'd work that long and call it a year. he saw no point in working hard and giving it all to .gov. |

I've never read that excerpt from Perot. That was a good read and can see the parallel.

I live in the world of 1's and 0's and people pay an amazing amount of cash to keep them organized. And they change the rules at every step of the way.

At $1000/month, 160 hours is about $6.25 an hour. 300 hours is around $3.33 per hour. I know what I'd rather make...
Especially when I'm paid by the hour... |

Great to get into beast mode to catch up or meet a goal but be sure you set a limit for yourself so you can unplug for a bit somewhere.
I've had some family that spent their entire lives working the long hour and not being around to reap the benefits. Don't make me fly down there to drag you out for the night. Scott

Had a boss long ago, issued an edict that we would all be working more hours, producing more product for no extra pay.
Bye. |

Craig - you are gonna burn yourself out ... and, not get what you are hoping in return. I hope I am wrong, but I spent 30 years in corporate america ....
My advice - back down ... set reasonable expectations of what they are going to do to reward you (it will always be less than you expect or you have earned). |

if you will settle for less, the boss will be quite happy to pocket the difference.
Hoda Kotb making $18 million less than disgraced 'Today' anchor Matt Lauer as viewers slap NBC on pay gap | Fox News same job, same tasks, way less pay for Hoda. she has settled for less. |

At your review, if they tell you what a good job you did, tell them wait until they see you do it sober.
