Working on a Saturday

My project manager told me on Friday that I had to work this weekend and she expected at least 8 hours of work a day. They do not pay me enough to work 16 hours or more on a weekend.

My 8 hours of work today consisted of watching a cycling race, sending an email, watching Dirty Jobs, sending another email, grocery shopping, and sending a third email and charging 8 hours of work when in reality I only worked for 30 minutes. We are supposably supposed to go-live next weekend which is the reason we all have to work 16 hours this weekend, but we have been asked to work every weekend for the last 5 months.

One of my insane co-workers worked 92 hours last week. I charged 62 which is basically the minimum expected, but only worked like 50. The rest of the time I spent cleaning my apartment, watching TV, or anything else that needed done. I just feel sorry for all of those IT workers who have not caught on to the game of pretending to management you actually work the hours they demand.

My project manager told the entire team we had to work 16 hours this weekend, yet she did not even log on today. Do not expect me to work if you are not going to. I can do the same crap you are doing too.
