Thing is, if you are low seniority you are forced to work on Saturday. You are going to work 60 or close to it regardless. You can do it in 5 days or 6. You can only call out so much. So i decided i want my weekends. Low seniority hardly work saturdays and if i do its only a few hours. Off at lunchtime..you high seniority guys say the same "sheet"... but the question is...what would you do?? Anyway I'm off this weekend..going to to do some boating on the lake this weekend with my new boat lol

We were sent a message yesterday if we were under 4 hours or more we were to report Saturday. I replied back something along the lines that "Sorry but I have plans. I won't be there." My plans? I plan to not be at work. The weekends are for me. Contractually we're only obligated to be there 5 days a week. Forget em.

Don't know what local you are in, but no way any package car in my local is working 60 hours a week. Maybe 8 hours ot, if that. Guys that work Saturday have Monday off. No forced 6th in my local either.
How can I force you to work if you don't have the hours available?

I have the hours available. I don't have the desire to work a 6th punch for my ***** of a boss.

It averages out to 57.
I'm not far from that working 5 days a week, wouldn't be hard at all working 6 like he said he was doing.

Till I Collapse
Started putting 12% into 401k as soon as I was eligible, raising it 2% at every raise till I maxed it out. My wife did the same.
Switched to the Roth at 9% about 4 years ago just because I don't feel I really need to add much more.
Currently have ~$2,000,000 in investments set aside to help support our son after we are gone.
