TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I do not object to or approve of overtime. I guess I am overtime agnostic.
I suppose I have more clout in managing my projects than most. They say
"here
is what we are doing, and here is when we are releasing it" and I say "here
is
what you get in that timeframe". Then, of course, negotiations ensue
(nice-to-have
versus need-to-have). Any overtime that is necessary is because I failed to
plan
adequately, so I do not mind doing it. Last-minute changes are accepted, of
course,
but I tell them how the changes will affect the schedule. That usually
squelches
any changes based on whim. That, and fragging their butts in UT (see habit
statement
above).
