I have been in your shoes man and I know those locg days get old after a few in a row.

Yeah, we just started working 10's today.
Sucks when you are used to 8's.
Schedule's now 5 10's and an 8.
Little extra money will help though.

Last paycheck I had over 45 hours of just ot. This is a two week pay period and I had over another week of pay on it.

If I got paid hourly, I wouldn't mind it so much, but I work on commission.....

Anybody lnow of a good job that requires little to no experience that pays about 30-40k a year? I'll accept higher paying jobs also!!

dayumm....... I couldn't do that, I start to fall asleep after 2 hours behind the wheel.......

 

[Big Wall]

I work for myself. No getty over timey.

 

[USMCBUSA]

I went on a month long field exercise once and we only slept about 4 hours a night. That shid will kill you.

 

[PACIFICBUSA]

12 hour days? That seems about normal for my job.

I forgot what an 8 hour day feels like.

And you can forget about the extra money. No such thing as over-time here. All we get is CTE (Compensatory Time Earned). Well, that, and a paycheck.

No one on their deathbed ever says, ".... if only I could have worked one more day...."

- Author I have no clue

 

[hemroid]

whats an 8 hour day at the dealership we work 5 10 hour days and 7 on saturdays it gets old sometimes

 

[04busaVA]

12 hour days suck...

my longest single workday, with no sleep, was something like 77 hours...

and when I did get to sleep I slept for like 12 hours....

 

[BusaSamurai]

I need your jobs. I work 12 hour days every day 5 days a week. all year long .But if you want to play with toys you have to pay for toys..

 

[Cuffee]

Overtime sucks but the money is great!

 

[MrGxr]

12 hour days are norm for me.... Sun, Mon, Tue, and every other Wed 12 hr day shift...
Payoff is 3 and 4 days off every week.
Work half the year and paid for full time job...

Maybe I am the exception, but 12hr days are the best.

 

[frisbee]

I work 4 10s . 3 day weekends rock!

It seems like your setting the bar pretty low for yourself.With just a little effort on your part-yeah 30-40k,--- but put in a little more effort and 70-80k makes life alot more livable.  If you have a degree or need one try to find out how to be and Air Traffic Controller.Great benefits-health,retirement,sick leave(13 days a year),vacation pay (up to 26 days a year) and all the ass holes you'd ever want to meet.All this for a starting pay of 35k and within 3years you'll be making 80k and after 18 yrs about 130k+++. Just a heads up...the government needs air traffic controllers in the next 3-10 years. One thing thou, you need to handle stress well, and handle the ass holes well( they are the stress.) AND IT'S ONLY 40 hours a week!!!!
