Actually, truth be told, during some of life's rougher patches I probably *was* the CAVE (Colleague Against Virtually Everything). You never do know what someone else has on their plate.
Work yesterday started with an unpleasant bang; two teammates or more out sick, but those two are “closers” and the only person scheduled is inexperienced, inclined to panic, and struggles for hours before asking for help at the end of the day.
I expect the same “can you work the closing shift” plea as soon as I log in at 11a ET. I was supposed to have a 90 minute lunch yesterday to compensate but worked an extra hour to finish due to late calls.
Didn’t get away last night until 9pm ET.
I used to work 16 hour days to meet deadlines, also as a way to avoid a crap situation at home (plus depending on the home situation that 16 hours might be one 8 hour day in equivalent labor as I had to run errands to take care of my mother).
Where I'm at now, we work a dedicated 8 hours, but the actual stress put on me is much more significant. Especially when I'm up against drop deads and dev is still haggling with PMs over feature creep which bucks my time tables.
