[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the real world 40 hours is the minimum hours worked. So workers are in the office a lot more than govt employees realize pre-covid.

If I had a Dentist Appointment or Doctors Appointment or Kids activity and I had to leave on time. Not early. I have to ask my boss usually.

Going back to office 40 yours a week is the absolute bare minimun in real worlds.

Places I worked at we often staff it based on a 50 hour week. We could hire 20 percent less workers. We be more profitable, we have less real estate rent, less people on medical plan. And even 50 hours is not a long day. If you eat at your desk and skip lunch it is 8-6pm

And in busy season when i was big four, we usually work 8-8 every day 60 hour weeks.

In summer we worked only 40 hour a week and felt like a vacation none of us knew what to do with all the free time.

When I worked at Citigroup we had a rule unless my dept was working at least 45 hours a week each we could not hire. Makes sense, how are you short staffed if no one is working OT?

Oh look, I used to work for an investment bank too so I'll chime in. In the "real world", you get market based bonuses, RSUs, etc to compensate you for that private sector work. In the Federal government, you're lucky if you get a cost of living adjustment that almost keeps up with inflation. These two are not the same and neither is your humble brag from a loser experience.

Thats executives. At my place at least 50 percent of company in cubes or admin just worked those hours and got squat.  [/quote]

Wow!  What terrible career choices you made indeed!  You should have made different ones.  [/quote]

Yeah, the PP who worked at Citi more or less admitted they were a low level peon -- probably the Fed equivalent of an administrative assistant (which is unfair to admin assistants). Or maybe a big 4 accountant that couldn't cut it? Either way, I'm not surprised of their lack of benefits or bonuses. PP was a retail banker not a real banker.[/quote]
