I miss working nights. It was always good to drive down the motorway on the way home at 7am and seeing the majority of the country rushing out.

 

Now I'm part of the 9-5 brigade but I love that more than doing the night shifts.

Fuck that, working nights is shit. The part you are missing is when you are on your way to work at 9pm and every fucker is going home to bed.

Our current night shift hours are 00.30-08.30. There is a proposal going round to change the night shift to 20.00-04.00. Thoughts anyone?

[Guest Super Sub]

I would work 8-4 before 00:30-08:30. 00:30-08:30 is worse than 22:00:06:30.

[Remmie]

I've scored working Christmas and boxing day when I was supposed to be off, should be a total of 24 hours at triple rate, now to see if I can get new years day.

 

As for the new proposals Champ, I reckon I'd prefer the 20.00-04.00 shift, but either way the shifts sound far too short.

20:00 - 04:00 would be great. That 00:30 start is my worst nightmare.

[Captain Turdseye]

I've recently started working weekend nights.

 

Fri - 15:00 - 07:00

Sat & Sun - 19:00 - 07:00

 

It's boss. Spend the entire time reading, sleeping or watching stuff on my phone. Then I'm home all through the week so I can take the baby out and stuff. It's only temporary for 4 months though, which means I'll have to go back to regular hours soon enough.

The problem with changing the night shift to 20:00-04:00 is that the am shift will be 04:00-12:00. I don't think the people on the early or am shift are going to want to start at 4am because it means they will have to go to bed about 7pm.

We would still be covering until 08.30 when the day shift starts but the hours from 04.00 til 08.30 would be covered on a standby basis but our finishing time in the office would be 04.00 which would allow us to get home while the roads are still quiet, potentially saving me around 30 min sitting in traffic, and the chance of a bit of night time sleep. We only rarely get calls that need an immediate response after 04.00 so we are thinking we wouldnt get called back out all that often

I don't get the bizzare shift patterns company's create anymore, it's like they purposely want to destroy people.

Working 96 hours straight?

 

I assume its 1am - 1pm?

 

Either way, that looks like a bastard

I work offshore on a Dive support vessel and everyone onboard works 12 hour shifts. Either 0000-1200, 1200-0000, 0600-1800 or 1800-0600. The Norwegians who work either 0000-1200 or 1800-0600 get extra money because of how much working nightshifts fucks your health up. The rest of us get nothing like.... Wish we had Norwegian unions. Luckily I am a supervisor so I have to work 0600-1800.

To add to all the other health implications of shift work I was listening to a piece on the radio this morning about how shift working over a prolonged period 'ages' your brain, increasing memory and concentration problems although the damage was not seen to be permanent with people eventually recovering to 'normal ages' after stopping shift working

[Lee909]

I say thats 100% true

[Champ]

I say thats 100% true

 

What is?

[Lee909]

That shift working causes memory and concentration issues

[Champ]

That shift working causes memory and concentration issues

 

it was my feeble joke

[lifetime fan]

My shifts are staying the same but my incompetent boss doesn't want me working weekends so she can pile more work on me when I'm there during the week.

 

I'm liking having weekends off but I fucking hate working Monday's.

[Lee909]

Been doing Mon-Fri since i came back to work. Doing my head in,back to shifts start of next week,cant wait.

[Champ]

It just so happens that it's my weekend off. I reckon this is the first Easter I've had off in 10+ years. It feels like a proper treat
