Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Your frank opinion
I am a direct employee, and I work about 50 - 60 hrs per week and do not get
OT. I have enough to do that I could work 80 hrs per week for about 6
months just to get caught up. My job is Applications DBA, part time
'website fixer', and part time website graphics guy. As for just normal DBA
activities, I could fill 40 hrs on those for a couple of reasons. I am a
rookie DBA, and having to do Oracle Applications system administration plus
loading Oracle software, puts me in catch-up mode on DBA stuff. I usually
get in around 6:00am cause my better half and the kids are still in bed. So
that gets me home earlier in the evening most of the time.

Subject: Your frank opinion
How many of the DBAs out there frankly work more than 40 Hrs a week on an average ? I have seen DBAs, specifically contrators (I'm one myself) put in 10 or 12 Hrs a day on the paper. In reality, it's the 10-12 Hrs they sit at work, either showing everyone how busy they are or creating work out of nowhere so that they could stay longer at work (and get the extra bucks). We've all had our chances working 24-36 Hrs on stretch in crisis situations, but in general, how much significant work does a DBA have. Most of the time I find it difficult to fill even the 40 Hrs in the timesheet. My favorite activity !! Browse this list.
