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 think that in a lot of situations, you don't know you're going to be asked
to work 80-hr. weeks until you're already hired and into the job! With all
the cutbacks and layoffs, people are asked to do more and more (like the
work of 2 people), and it gets ridiculous. Even a 60-hr. week, week in, week
out, is ridiculous. Productivity will actually go down.
I agree - for that level of OT (which is ridiculous in any case),
compensatory time is absolutely called for.
