A 50 hour week!  Egads, where do I sign up?

I know at one point in my life I put in 100 hours a week for several years. However it was partially choice and demands for the job. Another point is that they don't get paid any OT. They also work in an extremely politicized environment where VP's scream and curse at each other and the name of the game is to screw your co-worker .

I know that in Wisconsin, for the few jobs that came up lately, there

at least 3 jobs I've applied for in Wisconsin.  One job, after not
hearing anything for a while, I called and they finally emailed me
back saying they were going to make the position part time - 10 to 15
hours a week.

Eric,

I know one place that just increased the sysprog hours from 40 to (I
think) 50 a week. IRC correctly IBM did that as they are the outsourcer.
