Do you do overtime? How much? Do you think it "works"? I had 1 month of overtime a while ago, and I only noticed a stressed team for a tiny gain in speed. I know that if it went on for even longer I would've quit.

@zlice this.

I also like to add, I'll do it when it's close to review time or can help me out with internal politics.

Wait... you guys get paid overtime?

Yes I do OT when I need to, it could be an hour here and there, or if shit hits the fan sideways, it could be an all-nighter since you have a 48 hour window to do a 12 month waterfall deployment... fuck those hurt.

If I get enough OT built up in a week, I'll claim time in lieu though and take a day off.

I don't really do overtime (I'm paid hourly anyways) but I often work stupid hours. Saturday, Sunday, 3 AM. It's fun though and I bill the hours at normal times so I don't look like a freak

But hey, that's university life 🤷‍♂️

I don’t even know anymore. The lines between personal and work have blurred so much. WFH with small children really sucks in that regard.
