That's what we work. I'm supposed to be in maintenance (4-10s, Mon-Thurs, Tues-Fri). I moved to maintenance in 2014 but have been back in operations more than I have in manintenance since then (operators leaving, vacation coverage, etc). Company has cut OT as a "money savings" plan, but I haven't seen any of the cuts. 400+ hours OT this year and no end in sight.
