Reply To: Working over 40 hours?

[Andrew Garulay, RLA]

Two years ago I went part time at a civil engineering office in order to develop my own LA office. They have been steady all along, but cut out overtime in 2008. Their work load has not changed much since 2006 when I got there (different types of work, but equally busy)..

 

I just gave my final notice on Wednesday because my LA office is too busy for me to commit to any hours with the CE anymore. I’m a one person office. I can’t tell you if I’m busier due to the economy or just due to becoming better known. I really don’t know.

 

I’m hoping to settle down to a 40 hour week now that I’ve cut the part time (~22 hours a week).I had to over grow my work schedule in order to have the confidence that I could displace the other job. I think I have done that in a sustainable way.
