Whilst It helps that you enjoy your job, sometimes the will and effort is weak.Shift work can be tiring, clearly with some unsociable hours, it isn’t for everyone. My very first job involved shift work, working in a factory making mirrors. I had to leave though as I just couldn’t see myself in that kind of work.
Nightshift drivers use to come in to where I worked & they'd worked continuous night for 25 years, their shift started at 4 in the afternoon, finishing early in the morning, nightmareI know people in my old job that do 7 nights on 7 nights off all through the year, must knack your body clock.
Yes I think that's a big factor in it all if I'm honest, it's like you can see it & you're crawling over the lineErimus, I am wondering if it is getting harder now you have got your retirement date in mind? I know age could be a factor but how often do you set off to work with the end date countdown on your mind?
Just wondering as I have decided my retirement date and now I cant get the number of pay days left out of my head while each Monday morning seems to get harder.
Well I hope you manage to get there, having been made redundant earlier this month (company declined the furlough option) it's not that long ago I thought things were going well (too well) and my pension plans nicely in place to make substantial savings for the next 5 years.Yes I think that's a big factor in it all if I'm honest, it's like you can see it & you're crawling over the line
Sorry to hear that truck,Well I hope you manage to get there, having been made redundant earlier this month (company declined the furlough option) it's not that long ago I thought things were going well (too well) and my pension plans nicely in place to make substantial savings for the next 5 years.
Trying to get a new job and trying to make it the daily job to be active as possible, I could possibly retire but it would impact things a fair bit, an extra 5 years years working and paying the mortgage would be a big help.
never really done shifts for any length of time but do think many do it for the extra cash it provides, not sure how I would manage if suddenly went to working nights. One thing for sure time flies by at a scary rate 2020 which has been a bad year on so many fronts is nearly done, fingers crossed 2021 is better but I do think things might just get worse first.
