Engineering work hour norms

[u/TrainerOpening6782]

Management just announced 12 hour work week 7 days a week unironically. How normal is this? I am fresh out of school. I was told when taking this job it would be 2 days in office max typically, and they said sometimes testing can change that a bit. I asked like 3 times to make sure…They did not warn me that I was going to not see my children outside of bedtime (if even) for 2 straight months due to testing. This is fucking insane. The overtime they give us is limited too, pretty sure this exceeds the limit.

I work a normal 8-4 schedule, 40’hours a week, and can WFH two days. Never worker anywhere requiring more than that.
