We've had the chat and she's going to get in with a work mate, genuinely feel better already and think it's been playing on my mind for quote a while.

Peter Kay ?

Sometimes saying it out loud is the spur you need to make a change.

I love it when episodes of the GF end with a little life lesson

Oh, piss off!

 

 

 

Sent with love

[PestiRed]

Oh, piss off!

That actually wasn't sarcastic

 

But I do see your point

[Pureblood]

Come on you spur.

I'm currently leaving the house at 0530 and get home around 1700; been doing it for almost two years and it's beasting me.

 

I can't wait to move.

I worked in Leeds for a couple of years, the only way to beat traffic was to set off before 6. It fucking killled me so I feel your pain.

[Stouffer]

Tonight's the killer because I get home off the back off a 60 hour week and then get the kids. I'm not complaining about having them as I cherish every moment but I feel like half a person at best and feel like we're all missing out.

 

Moving away will be best for everyone.

I leave the house at 5am and get back at 6-6:30. You do part time hours

[lifetime fan]

With staff off sick, training booked in and A/L it feels like I’ve been living at work recently.

 

In the last fortnight I’ve worked

 

Monday - 24 hours

Tuesday - off

Wednesday - 13.5 hours

Thursday - 5.5 hours

Friday into Saturday - 32 hours

Sunday - off

Monday into Tuesday - 32 hours

Wednesday - 6 hours

Thursday into Friday - 32 hours.

 

 

So after working 113 hours in 12 days I came home yesterday evening, had 2 beers and fell asleep at 8 o’clock.

 

Of course I then woke up at 1am, have been awake since and am back in work 9 o’clock this morning.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I used to get up half an hour before I went to bed!

 

Worst shift I've done was 10am to 10 pm Monday to Friday for about a month before I though no point actually being alive doing this so I quit. I was young no responsibility just earning money for clothes and beer but I still wouldn't do it today.

Luxury.

I'm in Charles de Gaulle. I got up at 3am and left the house at 4. I'll get to my final destination in the States at midnight my time. In the next 21 days, I'll spend 16 of them away either in USA or China. Of the five at home, only two will be days off. After this stint, I will get a week at home and then start a similar schedule but with Mexico, India & Egypt. Then there will be a final 21 day stint to get me to Christmas. I used to love this but now am just thinking of how much I'll miss my daughter between now and Christmas

Trials of four-day working week hailed as 'a resounding success' (irishexaminer.com)

 

Ireland's first-ever trial of a four-day working week has been described as "a resounding success", with all 12 companies that tested the new schedule now planning to continue it into the future.
 

Employees were universal in their praise of the trial, reporting reduced stress, burnout, and fatigue while being able to sleep more each night and spending more time on hobbies, as well as community and voluntary work.
 

All of the companies and organisations that took part in the six-month experiment also reported a range of positive outcomes, including productivity and reduced energy usage, while all but one noted an increase in revenue.
 

The trial was backed by the trade union Fórsa and in partnership with Four-Day Week Ireland, University College Dublin, and Boston College, and the results will be presented at Dublin Chamber of Commerce today. It examined the financial, social, and environmental impact that a four-day working week would have on businesses and employees in Ireland. 
 

The companies that took part committed to operating a reduced work week with no loss of pay. Similar trials are taking place in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand under the Four Day Week Global (4DWG) campaign.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.Second, it is violently opposed.Third, it is accepted as being self-evident

 

We’re through the first stage now.

would rather a 3 day week with monday and friday off..3x 13 hour shifts. Unfortunately for most companies the phone lines are mon-fri and then we have the service industry working 24/7.

I wonder how 'typical' those businesses are in workload, hours worked etc, also be interested to see how it works in the public sector.

There is no chance of it in public sector. I work in the public sector and the shit the mail ect give us for wfh for two days shows that.

The general public think we earn 50k a year retire at 50 and spend most of our working day on a peleton watching tv
