Hear troll troll troll! I got some food for ya!
I'm sure that many CTC based staff would enjoy being off during the day, working the night and then having a sleep day. With, of course, suitable monetary recompense for the unsocial hours and not forgetting some shut eye during the night in Hotel Swanwick to ensure we're bright eyed and bushy tailed
I worked shifts for 25 years before becoming a day worker so I do have a little experience of working nights. Personally I'd much rather work shifts but my job doesn't require it, there are very few jobs for CTC based staff that require 24/7 working. Strangely the requirement tends to be at the operational units.
