No, I can't always get what I want. I've always worked shift in jobs that were 24/7. I've missed my share of family and life events. I (and my family) take that as part of the job. I'm on a salary. I get the same money whether I work 12hr day shift or 12hr night shift, Friday or Sunday, Anzac Day or Christmas Day, If one of my days on or off happens to be a public holiday, I don't get another day off in lieu. That's just the way it works. I (and my family) take that as part of the job. I knew it going in. There's always another option should the work you choose to do turn out to be inconvenient. No one is holding a gun to your head to accept their pay cheque.
