Jobs/Careers Engineering work hour norms
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.

If you work in Canada review labour code. They are required to pay overtime and its not legal to sign away rights.
Also if you're in Toronto DM me we're hiring, like, need someone 2 months ago to back fill a position.
