Thompers 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Well after 8 months of working in my current job, being the bosses pet I've always avoided the nightshift much to the annoyance of my colleagues. However, this week I didn't dodge the bullet. Been up since 10am and am off to work in a bit, and I'm yawning just at the prospect of not being able to sleep till at least 7am. Against fucking human rights I'm sure. It's just not normal. Any more of this and I might be forced into handing my notice in.

Jimbo 133 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I work nights often and used to work permanent nights, you need to make sure you have a good lay in or a snooze in the afternoon, if not you'll struggle, take some Pro-plus or Redbull.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Are you getting unsociable hours pay? Time-and-a-third at least. Nights are alright as long as you are doing them permanently and can get into a routine. Rotating Days, twilight and nights is a bastard though.

I do get paid shift allowance but I'd rather just get the lower wage and do the good shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the 7:30am starts are not good. don't mind early starts if they mean early finishes. When I worked at Longbenton, I started at 7.00am and knocked off at 4.30 mon-thursday so that I could shy off early on Fridays etyc. flexi-time is the Bomb tbh.
