My "office hours" of 8-4 are laughable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850591 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 10:48:13 +0000 Mamaof2 1850591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually but a few years ago we were working on a huge document and I went home for 2 hours then had to come back and work until midnight - for 4 days - it sucked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850559 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 10:35:30 +0000 .twist. 1850559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I do not get paid overtime, so I do not do extra work. Not that they even have extra work anyway.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850532 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 10:26:35 +0000 Freckles 1850532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quite a bit. I'll log on a few times a week after LO goes to bed depending on what's going on. But lately i've been good about not touching my laptop/blackberry on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850470 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 10:01:49 +0000 cascademom 1850470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. Since we're going back to the office full time (no WFH, boo), I'm leaving my computer at work, so no work once I've left the office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850417 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:34:24 +0000 Circusbee 1850417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally we'll have a deadline sneak up on us that requires some late nights, but it doesn't happen very often anymore. Other than that I pretty much never stay more than 30 minutes late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850397 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:26:20 +0000 jetsa 1850397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>once or twice a month I attend city/village board meetings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850389 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:23:23 +0000 snowjewelz 1850389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work w/ factories in China so I do check my emails at night sometimes; it's not required of me though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850373 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:13:41 +0000 Synchronicity 1850373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I work outside of my regular hours a lot. It makes it really difficult to plan anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850367 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:10:20 +0000 BlueWolverine 1850367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every once in a while. I have to go to a big banquet/event tonight for work. I'm sure it will be lovely, but I suck at schmoozing and would rather be home in my jammies. At least I get to with my work wife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850355 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:00:48 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1850355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. All the time. I bring home work at least once per week. I try not to, but it's often needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850351 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 08:56:11 +0000 alohaorchid 1850351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore. I used to work after hours all the time... coming in early, leaving late, working from home. It took me getting really sick to realize that it's just not worth it. Now I work my regular hours and go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850209 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 07:16:59 +0000 Rockies11 1850209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a lawyer so I don't have the most regular hours, but I do theoretically only work Mon-Thurs. It seems, however, that pretty much every other Friday I am in the office for some length of time. This morning I am getting ready for a 7 a.m. client meeting on my day off!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850163 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 06:38:09 +0000 looch 1850163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not unless it's a special work weekend, usually around a release or year end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850085 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 02:14:59 +0000 Mrs tartan 1850085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now and again, the office is usually 9-5 mon to fri but sometimes a guest will arrive as late as 7pm or the weekend requires extra staff. We don't get overtime unfortunately so we take some time off to make up for it during the week which is rubbish, but part of the job I'm afraid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850080 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:58:44 +0000 lamariniere 1850080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I work freelance, so I work evenings and weekends when I have urgent jobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850075 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:49:47 +0000 MaisyMay 1850075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the year, I try to not work much overtime, but Sept-December, I do a fair amount at the office. Tonight I got the nod to do an hour at home, and I'll probably do 1-2 hours at home tomorrow, which is supposed to be my Labor Day since I was in the office on Monday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850040 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:57:26 +0000 mrsjazz 1850040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. I am on a much-needed vacation from work right now, but last Friday I worked 10-7. I took a break to meet an out-of-town friend for dinner, was back home at 10:30 p.m. and then worked until 2 a.m. Also, had to do some work on Saturday (plus my summer Fridays and on my previous vacation). I've pulled many late nights for my job and it sucks ass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850029 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:37:56 +0000 Beehive 1850029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all the time. Thankfully I always get to leave on time, but at least 50-60% of evenings I need to log back in once DS is sleeping and finish up my work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850019 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:26:46 +0000 skibobrown 1850019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. I'm a college prof. It's not a 9-5 job. Last night I was prepping my lectures for today until past midnight. Tonight I'm calling it quits earlier so I can catch up on some sleep. Luckily DD doesn't like to wake up too early or I'd be truly exhausted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850018 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:24:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1850018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1850016 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:21:14 +0000 autumnlove 1850016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, 2-3 hours a week right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1849808 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 20:12:25 +0000 dolphin 1849808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

Nights and weekends are fair game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1849745 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 19:46:21 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1849745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Our standard hours are 9-5 but i often come in early or stay late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1849740 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 19:44:02 +0000 lady grey 1849740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I have somewhat flexible hours at my job as an nurse and I have been choosing to go in for extra evening shifts about 2-3 times per month. As soon as DH gets some, I head to work. Its kind of rough to work until 10 or 11pm after chasing after LO all day...but its nice to have the $$. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1849683 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 19:16:34 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1849683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I just came on here to procrastinate grading my students' work. I'm now working at a digital pilot school (all students have macbook airs!) so all work is submitted digitally--it takes SO much longer to comment and provide feedback.</p> <p>I just want to go to bed... :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1849658 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 19:02:09 +0000 yellowbird 1849658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! We do have emergency "call" though. It's a texting service that texts us patient "emergencies" and we can call them back at our discretion. I never have to go in though. Usually just an antibiotic or we tell them to go to the ER. I have it 3-4 times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-to-work-after-hours#post-1849657 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 19:01:40 +0000 prettylizy 1849657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one night/week where our office is open to 8pm and take turns doing that shift. Same with Saturdays, only once every 5 weeks. </p>
