Pah!....trying doing my old job - 12 years of Her Majestys Constabulary...that'll soon show you what roster's and disturbed family life is like. 17 hours shifts at times(longest - 26 hours. Beat that at your local chinese sweat shop!!), no weekends off for 2 months, no sleep for 2 weeks because you've just done 6 different starts(9am, 6am, 7am, 5pm, 10pm, 2pm,) in less than a fortnight. One xmas off in 8 years!!!, dont even think about getting New Year off! If your lucky(really lucky!) you might just get the same holidays as your wife. As for how management treat you....well I think you get the idea..!
And some of you guys moan because you have to work xmas eve or miss the odd family event...heaven forbid finishing on a late and starting on an early!
Sorry...couldnt resist...some of you have it real bad
