why would he be jealous of a lame earning $1185.12 per week
signing out maintenance on say a 744?
after all the previous 'incumbent' got over 30 times that amount.
Eight hour shifts resulted in more overtime than the Twelve hour arrangement because of the continuity of work requirement.
While pay was higher, our wonderful income tax system took a very large chunk out of that extra money.
Now move to Twelve hour shifts. Overtime decreases or ceases, but the "continuous quality time" of full days and nights available to spend with the family increases dramatically and most felt that it more than outweighed the relatively small reduction in pay.
The biggest loser was the ATO.
As a manager, since when do you get those levels of time off??
