Civvy street is far easier in terms of work-life balance. The money tends to be less, but if FQ charges continue to increase by double digit increments, then money will be less of an incentive to stay. I have yet to hear "just get on with it" in the workplace although there are some of the same problems - the difference is that, when I knock off I know it is for the night or weekend and when I go in early, I leave early.
