""Who says the workweek is limited to 84 hours......"

If you're really working more than 84 hours a week I feel truly sorry for you."

Im not going to lie and be full of bravado....the first week or two of the 84+ hours were TOUGH. I was completely dead tired every night and stiff as a board in the morning. But, after a few weeks, it got easier and became the norm, so I honestly felt OK. All that said, I wouldn't want to do it forever, but a few months at a time would be fine. But, I seriously hope things get resolved sooner than that, as Id like the company to go back to normal ASAP.

I cant speak for the other posters, but Ive been 90+ hrs a week for quite a few weeks in a row. But, this is now easing up as things get rolling more efficiently it seems.

"That's such silliness and you know it. The majority of the EWA are miserable and not doing this because of funding retirement accounts. They are people who lack all forms of discipline both fiscally and morally. They forced otherwise they would take their own advise and quit get another job were they would be more appreciated."

That most EWA want to go home is absolutely true. Saying that they don't have a choice is true. Saying that they are enjoying the extra $ is true. (But, they should not be throwing it in peoples faces, as that it uncalled for.) But, saying they lack morality and any sort of discipline is not appropriate (because it is not true).

If someone was at ~$70/hr normally, with a 95 hr workweek they could touch $10k.

""Those paychecks are very real."

Not at $10K figure, unless one's presumed hourly wage is $80. And I'm going by the rates that unionized member would get in the respect of 9 hours at 1.5 and everything else at 2.0 with an 84-hour workweek..."

"The reason I can go without pay and enjoy the time off with my family is because I have made money and invested. Unlike yourself you have too work rediculous hours do to your lack of discipline. "

This isn't necessarily true. Many folks are simply just "making hay while the sun shines" with regard to the increased EWA income. They are simply further padding the savings that already exists. Many already have lots of time off, nice retirement accounts, etc as well.

The reason I can go without pay and enjoy the time off with my family is because I have made money and invested. Unlike yourself you have too work rediculous hours do to your lack of discipline. You have sold yourself and your family for an institute that is going to release as soon as this is over.

"You didn't make $10k a--hole"

While I don't agree with the gloating type posts (as they are not productive), I would not be surprised if some folks, even if they are not making $10K a week, may be knocking on the door of that value.
