TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
November 2001 through the beginning of June 2002, I worked an average of
60 hours per week. This is considered the norm--perhaps even light--at
my organization; it is the culture. There is no increase in salary to
cover the extra hours.
I would appreciate any feedback on the average hours worked per week for
salaried TW's. I have heard some scary figures that are considered
"normal"
for a base salary, with increases in salary level almost automatically
entailing longer hours. I understand that particular projects often
require
extra work, and I am asking primarily about the average--including "take
home," if this is considered the norm at your organization. Any
information
would be helpful.
Thanks!
