“Heads up, there won’t be a WAN Show this week. Instead, we will continue to focus on addressing issues raised both internally and by the community during our production break. We appreciate you all for your patience.”
I dunno if that is typical for most companies? I’m pretty sure the csuite of my company isn’t expected to be available 24/7. Neither would I expect that from the csuite of the BBC or any other media company?
Im not in their industry, is it how it works at other companies?
Usually c-suite are paid annually and are required to work whatever amount of time is required of them by the office, which might include working during what is considered time off for hourly employees. At my previous job they even told them “You’re expected to end the year having worked 50h/week on average.” when 40h was the max for regular employees.
Meanwhile, 20 of those hours every week are spent attending meetings. The “work” That suite folks do consists of meetings, talking to people, and sending emails. Literally anyone can do that for 50 hours a week, especially when the salary allows you to hire domestic help to do the housework, cooking, landscaping, etc… Thatyou’d otherwise spend those hours on.
I know employees not in managerial roles that do pretty much that too. Salaries also depend on the size of the company, I know some that make less than I do in an entry level job in my department.
“C-suites” (didn’t use traditional titles as it wasn’t a private business) at my previous job were obligated to work nights, weekends, interact with clients directly (including helping when facing difficult ones) and so on… Not all c-suites jobs are the same and not all of them are easy either…
