On the low end, this works out to over 3,000 hours or 930 hours of over time. My office, staff average is around 250, seniors 350, managers 400 and senior managers 500. As far as not taking vacation. That is uncommon.
You can have huge impact on hours "worked". I have seen many people that during busy season will waste an hour and half on lunch and dinner each and another hour surfing the web. Now to hit the 11 client hours, they have 15 hours in the day. The 55 hour week has now become 75.
Some (less than 20%) have lost vacation hours, typically Managers, who get 22 days vacation, plus the 10 holidays and the firms extra 3 days off at Christmas this year. You lose vacation when you have accrued balance greater than 176 hours. There is a big push to take vacation and the lost vacation report is closely monitored. |

Hello all:
Could anyone give me an idea of the hours (busy season and otherwise) in DC metro? How big a discrepancy is there between the hours in WFP and those in commercial?
I'm considering transferring to the McLean office, but want to get an idea of the hours/culture of the office before putting in the request.
Many thanks.
