About a year ago I made the decision to leave the Armed forces. Now having left I’m wondering if it was the right decision. Well maybe not, but the Army was a catch 22. Sometimes I would get messed about with no say in the matter with what days or hours I worked. But the vast majority of my days were really easy work.
Fast forward to my first civilian job. I signed a contract for full time at 40 hours a week. But apparently this is just ‘basic hours’ and the job is seemingly for way more with start times at 6/7am and then not finishing till around 6pm. 5 days a week. I’m finding it hard to understand how this is a 40 hour job.
How do people prioritise their free time to actually live in the 4 hours each evening before I have to go to bed and do it all again.
