I'm on contract so I never even have the opportunity of overtime.
I'm also not guaranteed my breaks. I often work 14 hours straight. Thats just how it goes.
I get where Bondi staff are coming from, but to me it reeks of "Job was crappy, but we didn't read our contracts when we signed them and got screwed.".
Just going to point out that yes, some of us do have to work huge hours for weeks, because thats our jobs.
I'm not trying to be a dick, or pull the usual "You don't get it" crap. It's good you make a comfortable amount of money without having mental work hours. Some of us are just in vocations where constant, long hours are the norm, and we're ok with that.

Puzzle Quest 2 canceled for PSP
Jul 21st 2011 11:47AM (Joystiq)No, they had one sound bug left to sort before release, but they hadn't got enough free manpower to keep working on it.
It wasn't the bug itself that got it canceled. Just lack of resources. The bug was the only thing left to sort out.
