3. Have had to lay off half of my staff and are still expected to get the same amount of work done.
4. Morale is my problem , so any little things done for the staff is my problem too.
5. No comment.
6. In my world it's called the things you do to keep your job.
My response...thank you for keeping me employed.

I work in O&G finance and have done so my whole career. I am in the same boat as anyone else in the industry right now, and believe me I understand the pay cuts, downsizing, increased work loads, etc.
I regularly work overtime, weekends, and am studying for a professional designation. Speaking from direct, personal experience, the teacher I know works far harder than I do, and it still isn't enough (while getting paid far less).
