As someone who is in finance at dell as first job, I find that many people work long punishing hours with frequent night calls, and work weekends. If you are awake you are working. And it’s because of many MANUAL WORK FLOWS, MANUAL DATA ENTRY, and AMBIGUOUS R&R with many OVERLAPS and DUPLICATIONS. Who else find themselves working non stop?

Leave and find a new gig it won't change
There will literally NEVER be a time when i work a 70hr work week, ever.
I work to live, not the other way around.
Stop being a su---r OP
Thats your fault kid
We’ve all had bad weeks where we put in a lot more time than we should. But if this is normal then you are in the wrong job.
Sure, the higher-ups may brag that they work those hours. They also have stock grants and seven figure salaries. Michael Dell may work those hours, even if it’s from one of his houses or the office area on a private 787.
I think it’s time to find other work.
I hope like he-l that you aren’t the CFO
As an hourly employee I am only paid for 7 hours of work per day. All OT has to be approved in advance so I do as much as I can in 8 hours then leave.
Is this a joke ?
If you bend over backwards to make things work you will always be bending over backwards. Do your job, but if things aren't working, let the system fail or nothing will ever be done to fix it.
I once got a great piece of advice. Don’t put in all the hours. Let cr-p fall through the cracks. That’s when leadership addresses resourcing issues.
Don't give management the satisfaction of working all those hours to make them look good. Take care of your health and don't worry about Dell.
Why? Do what you can within working hours, if you're understaffed then it's not your problem, but management's. By keep working 80h pw you just make life easy for buttheads at the top. Get some self respect at least
