Double time is sweet. My job is slowing down now. I just started 40 hour/week schedule last week after 6 months straight of 70 hour weeks. Did 12 hour shifts (double time after 10 hours) and then double time after 48 hours. Plus I got $6 hazard pay bonus for the job because of radiation (which has been cut off for the last month). But man, paycheques were sweet for 6 months. I was clearing $2100/week after taxes because of all the overtime. Mailed in half of my year though

Job is wrapping up now though. Back to no overtime but at least I'll have a life on 4/10s. Won't have to deal with that again until next year

Double time is lovely haha. Whole reason I even chose this factory but it was the second best choice I've ever made even though I've had to work for what I've made. Our demand seems to slow primarily around election time; but between the start of 2017 and about October last year we largely worked 7 days a week. I personally counted 654 work days in 2018/2019 and I'm certain I was over 300 in 2017.

Definitely not this year though. Had three weeks off for demand shutdown due to covid and several 5/6 day weeks. Only on my fourth 7 day week this year, in fact. Not sure I'll even hit $50k this year *shrug*
