Completely arbitrary. No one in management feels safe and it ripples down. I have been through 5 VPs in last 4 years. Managers live in NY and have no investment in firm.
In one month, worked 3 weekends in a row, on top of full 50 hour weeks, and the weekends were 5:00 AM calls with 16 hour for deployments, and managers calling monday asking why I haven't completed something. I say managers because norm is to have people matrixed to multiple projects, so you thrash and show up for meetings and status calls, but get little done. No one cares about your family because most people are contractors from a managed service provider.
Really, how much has a 30 year loan changed over the years, it is not that hard, but the politics and restatement, and recession, and outsourcing, have turned it into a very un-family friendly place.
That’s how I felt my three years. When I got fired guy was telling jokes. Got new boss who did me dirty as soon as hired as wanted job his buddy. After two minutes said you look like nice guy I am sure you are not going to steal or Rob us. I will let you walk out on own no security guard.
