To start I’m a corporate security officer (sergeant ,evening supervisor) and frankly my hours suck. Being second in command it falls on me to cover hours when needed. So to avoid confusion I’ll say that our site contract has us do contractual hours. So we have to hit a certain number of hours per week regardless of how many bodies we have. We are currently down two people so baseline I do 50 hours a week. This current week I’m doing 60hours (4am to 4pm) and the difference in sleep schedule is fucking me up. Last year we did 60 hour weeks for several months because a coworker was out due to injury. And I damn near quit. Now my boss is leaving and I may be asked yo take his place and I don’t think it want it. Not to mention I’ll be doing 60s till we can hire someone. Which is proving a hassle haven’t had any one apply in over a year. Which for 16 I can understand why not.
I’d leave for something better but unfortunately where I am there really isn’t (least related to my field)
