I work 7am-7pm, the earliest I will ever leave is 7:30, the norm is 8:00-8:30. The latest was 10:00 because the the night shift called in sick. We rotate every 2 weeks day shift and night shift. 3 days on. 2 off. This is the expectation where I work, and beyond that we are understaffed so each person does the work of a team of 2-3. It's grueling, unforgiving, and demeaning. There's no training and the environment is trial by fire.

The catch is I need to wait 2 months until they can replace me, and I train my replacement. I am absolutely miserable, but need to get through it, on the other end is 8-5. But goddammit this is no way to live. For context I work in a packaging and…


I work 7am-7pm, the earliest I will ever leave is 7:30, the norm is 8:00-8:30. The latest was 10:00 because the the night shift called in sick.

We rotate every 2 weeks day shift and night shift. 3 days on. 2 off.

This is the expectation where I work, and beyond that we are understaffed so each person does the work of a team of 2-3.

It's grueling, unforgiving, and demeaning.

There's no training and the environment is trial by fire.

I've looked for other work, had several interviews external and internal, and I only got one bite internally. The catch is I need to wait 2 months until they can replace me, and I train my replacement.

I am absolutely miserable, but need to get through it, on the other end is 8-5.

But goddammit this is no way to live.

For context I work in a packaging and shipping facility.
