pissing on and on and on about how hard you have life as a shift-working controller is tired. I'm a shift-working controller and I earn triple what my shift-working ER nurse wife does, for half the hours and considerably less peril of being stabbed.
It is not the shift work, it is a poor design of rosters that are there just to cover the lack of staff. It is being called at 9am after you finished work at 6am to come into work at 4pm. Yes, this happens. And then you make the slightest mistake and your career is over.
But hey, if you are happy to perform your duty tired, which exposes yourself to criminal prosecution for negligence, and also risking 1000s of lives, you should just sign up and enjoy work 10 days straight. Otherwise stfu
