So if your boss says you have 12 hours to finish a project...do you stay 4 hours late to complete it?
No, I completely neglect doing it and then blame the visible minority working in the office for the work not being done. Boss agrees, scolds visible minority, i get a pay raise and promotion- another slam dunk for the white guy!
I'm expecting Ladiboi will be spinning in his grave right away
my east coast coworkers think i'm pretentious :ghey:
i say fuck em
That's my kind of living. That NY minute shit is a bit crazy. Top that off with boss with memory loss who forgot to give you the job = project due for last week with an irate client.

Okay, I'll bite:
Eh, I'm on the "get shit done when shit needs to get done" program.
We try not to be as nebulous when bounding the problem though. Having "12 hours" to do something means "you have 12 billable hours to get shit done". 12 today, 6 today / 6 tomorrow, 1 hr / 12 days, whatever...
But yeah, if my boss comes in at noon and says, we need this by midnight... Then I crank out another 12 hours.
Well, younger eager me did that... Older wiser me finds some intern to pop nodoze and redbulls to get shit done by midnight. Then fix their fuckups in the morning.
(couldn't respond before, needed to get shit done)
^The point was if you say I'll finish this twelve hour job by splitting it up with eight hours today, four hours tomorrow, then your previous statement about work weeks doesn't make much sense.

I think different situations dictates different reactions (no rly). Some people are employed and/or paid and the perspective of their job is to get shit done at all costs.
Some others is get shit done til it's 5 o clock or whatever GTFO-time, then start tomorrow if not completed.
Others are too swamped and it's try to get shit done, which means they gotta start micro-managing their micro-manager.
If you're in group 2, don't expect group 1 bonuses and shit. Then again, your boss shouldn't expect you to play it like group 1 either.
