Yeah, but not while making any $$$. Unless you are an executive, or own the company.

I guess it depends on what you mean by $$$. My son got a 6 figure job straight out of college in Dearborn. Its a 40 hour job.

Is it with the automotive industry or a derivative industry of the automotive?

 

[Rcmchicago]

Can't complain working in the .com industry, usually never over 40 hrs and rotating kegs in the office.

 

[HISSMAN]

Also depends on where you live and cost of living in that area.
I for an example live in Texas. i work as a Manager for Tier 3 Systems Engineering at a company called VMware, its not a government job but i also cant complain. But i got lucky, this company is known for allowing employees to have a life... I do work my a$$ off with hours, but the company policy state "Zero Vacation days"... meaning, you get absolutely Zero vacation days. You can take a vacation any time you want for as log as you want, only thing u need to do is clear it with your boss... which is never an issue, even when before i became a manager it was never an issue... Now that i became a manager its never an issue with my employees as well... I let them take 3 weeks, even 4 weeks vacation with no problems... even multiple vacations throughout the year... my team rocks and never failed with responsibilities so i seriously dont care how many "days" they took off...

Where do you work if i may ask?
i know we're off topic here but since this thread became a support group for ford victims, we might as well get to know each other ... now everybody please stand up clap and say "We love you M.a.S.e - Stay strong".

I am an engineer for a coal company. I do a lot of autocad work.

Do your projects rotate and have hard deadlines? Suppose that could be the difference.

I operate mostly off of "end of month" soft deadlines. I also work from home occasionally due to weather, personal schedule, etc. My customer base really doesn't have an immediate "on fire" moment except for random bits. I mostly perform maintenance, improvements, and additions to new part lines that we offer and operate.

I'm always on fire with this job. Stress is 10/10.

I guess it depends on what industry you are in. I contract as a Business Analyst in the IT world and make a very decent hourly rate and rarely need to work more than 8 hours a day. Vacation wise, I can take what I want, but of course, as a contractor, I don't get any sort of vacation pay.

If you say so...you need to look around more. I get 3 weeks paid vacation a year, plus great benefits, and my hourly rate is good. I don't work 40 hours a week, more like 50 or so on average, but it's not anything unreasonable. I never have any issues leaving early to get a sick kid from daycare or anything like that either.

Get away when you can. Before I retired, my blood pressure was below the start-to-worry-if-its higher but a month after retiring it was down more than 10 for both numbers. And I didn't feel I was under any stress. I made a lot of decisions that could cost millions if I projected wrong but I didn't worry the slightest at least at a conscious level but it still had an effect.

 

[HizliBullet]

we can all agree seeing THIS is makes all our blood pressures high

Yes, this is the worst! :headbonk:

Lol I work 37.5 hours a week with voluntary overtime when I feel like it. I get 35 days of pto per year, my boss doesn't care when we leave if the work is getting done. The benefits are good and our retirement isn't bad. I work at a hospital

Ford needs to hurry the hell up.

Hey hey hey.. let's not get distracted here.

It's after December 2nd and we're still holding our dicks waiting for the update. :rant:

 

[Brazenbuck]

If it happens, it'll be during CES (Jan 5-8). If it's not here by then, don't expect it.

 

[scott_0]

don't expect it.
