To tell the truth,I just love it!!!!
Is this 8 hour roster the worst thing that can happen?
NO
OK,maybe I miss the 4 day breaks,but getting off in the middle of the day now allows me more time to get things done around the house and to pick the kids up from school and sometimes cook the dinner.
And as for the late starts e.g. 1930-0330,well I can now have dinner at home, and then enjoy the whole next day before returning to work.
And as for the pay drop?Well this is the first pay,and boy if that is as bad as it gets without doing O/T,well me and my family can live with that.
Although I do feel for those blokes who live way out.
If this is how M wants us uncooperative,rebel LAMEs to suffer,well I must be weird,because I no longer feel fatigued before or after shift.In fact, I can't believe how good I feel everyday I turn up.And if it was so bad,then why are some of the newly formed crews having bonding sessions with days out to the pub,golfing days,etc?
So far this is a winner for the majority of LAMEs,and the company will have trouble getting the required numbers to get ANY extended shift patterns back in.
Thanks QE
Merry Christmas to ALL
