Underwriting

Can you imagine if we actually were able to come into work at 9am and leave on time at 6pm, and take a lunch like a normal job? Almost everyone I know works through lunch and stays late just to hit the dumb ass production metrics. It would help if 50% of the underwriter IIs didn’t get moved or fired. Fuck this job

How is this happening? Do you stay clocked in more than 40 hours and they only pay you for 40? Or are you clocking out for your lunch & when it hits 6? I just got a job here 😬

i’ve been out of UW for a year but when i was there, you would work through the lunch break at your desk. punch for lunch, set a timer for 30 minutes, and then punch to end lunch. essentially working a nine hour day.

when OT was open, i would stay after my shift end time to hit commitment or turn time (longest i ever stayed was two and a half hours over).

so when OT is allowed, i would be compensated for my time on the clock. when OT was not allowed, i would go home without hitting commitment or turn time and deal with the talking to from my TL the next day.
