I have pretty good flexible hours.
When I started this position I had a standing Friday afternoon appointment so I worked it out that my shift was
M-F 7-5
F 7-11It's normal for me to roll in around 7:10, most office staff isn't in until 7:50, but the boss gets here anytime between 6:30-8:30, seemingly at random.
I frequently work until 6 or 7 during the week.I work weekends when an upgrade requires it.
I was working last night until 12:30 AM - ug (today's going to be long)

See, from my point of view you should have been able to get some sleep, and show up late, but that's me....

Not flexible at all, but I don't ever work outside of 8:30 - 4:30 and I never work weekends.
Yeah, because you are a contractor, not an in house employee.
I'm curious though - Hey @scottalanmiller what kinds of benefits should wired be getting? Those of the City for whom he works 99.9% of the time, or those of his contracting company? I was always confused on where you stood on this.
My company has tried to get me to stay late, I just refuse.
Good thing they like you. You definitely have an interesting contract setup. But being a consultant, you definitely have some freedoms of negotiation that most normal employees don't - i.e. you supporting more users/clients/customers = you get more pay, even if you do zero more work.
For me, if we double in size, I don't get double pay, or even 10% more - I just get more work to do.
And JB - well he just gets to bill his customer more - so he says, bring it on bitch

They ask what needs to occur in order fix an issue and if down time is required it has to be scheduled with the city, typically after hours or on the weekend. If they ask me if I can stay I say no.

oh, I probably could have. But at the same time I personally wanted to be here to make sure there where no problems first thing in the morning.

My boss is a CPA - no, she can't handle anything IT. I'm a one man IT shop.

So your company isn't accounting for the bus?

theoretically flexible but actually bound to company employers time (as for support): 8:30-18:30. lunch time is 2 hours.
I tend to be a bit of flexible at entrance and exit timing.also if I have to do something "destructive" I use night hours or saturdays, gaining some hours to stay at home during the mon-fri 9/5 frame (I usually reserve the friday afternoon).

I heard 2+ hour lunches were the norm in Spain. How about where you are (is it Italy?) - is 2 hour lunches the norm?

I have quite flexible hours. I am hourly and make OT for anything over 40.
M-Th 9-7
Fr 9-1Never on call, all after hours/weekend work is usually OT, and my boss is super cool about the whole thing. He lets me make up hours after the fact instead of making me use PTO, which is great. Plus he is very technical and can handle anything when I'm not here.
