I've just posted in a different thread about the fact that I don't really get job satisfaction at my current place due to the workload being too big and being toold there is no budget for new staff or freelancers. We are just churning out work that isn't our best, we haven't got time to kick back against moronic client comment and ammends but we are still pulling 10-12 hour days.
How many of you lot are happy at work, do you get the time and space to produce the goods?

if you're pulling 10 to 12 hour days, it's time to start looking elsewhere.
that's my two cents

I completely agree and i am putting my portfolio together again.
- JazX0
unless of course they acknowledge that you are doing that much for them and compensate you justly
- Wolfboy0
nope, I'm getting about 1/3 of the time back in Lieu (when we can find the time to take it)

agreed, it is all down to the work, I had a sit down with my Creative director and he said we just have to keep churning through the work as the other aspects (money ect) are out of our hands.
i really would't mind the hours if I was doing good work that was front page of my portfolio. I enjoy being a designer - but not a mac monkey.

This is what happens in such a client orientated profession Most other European countries have laws to protect you working stupid hours.

Wolfboy:
Give us a shout if you need any one to look over your folio, I wouldn't mind getting together with some of the GMT crew to have a portfolio crit.

Yeah, that'll be good, I'm gonna be a few weeks before it's ready yet as I'm off on holiday (already booked and they can't stop me!) but when it is done I'll post it on here.
