In Germany, if we had to office on weekends, some very high-ranking people from the client's office needed to be present. Which meant that we were encouraged to go to office on weekends only in case of emergency (though 14 hour day and weekend work at offshore was a norm) sleepAmeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252374817117509287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792452394789637349.post-48588041684228152302007-03-11T23:07:00.000+05:302007-03-11T23:07:00.000+05:30Nikichan,Lolll yes.Joining me in the business ? ;)...<B>Nikichan,</B><BR/>Lolll yes.<BR/>Joining me in the business ? ;)<BR/><BR/><B>Fleiger,</B><BR/>Yes, most of the time on Saturdays too. When I said 65 hours per week, it was excluding commuting time.<BR/> Unlike US where they discourage working on Saturdays, here we were allowed. I think because the schedule was very tight and when I went there we were very much behind schedule. <BR/><BR/>One more reason could be that my company was earning a hefty amount for every hour put in by me (my perception). ;) At times I was in office for 14 hours at a stretch !<BR/>Do you remember my HOD wanted me to join ASAP on the first day itself ?Cuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593822080382578122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792452394789637349.post-33411031814747299602007-03-10T23:27:00.000+05:302007-03-10T23:27:00.000+05:30Yes, sundays is acceptable.
