Who else hates split shifts?

I hate split shifts too, but they're usually necessary in the restaurant industry since most employees won't be needed between 2-5PM. I hated it so much, I decided to go back to school and leave them and the mind dumbing work behind. Best decision I've ever made.

wow thats like exactly my life lol, im trying to go to college, i hope it works out for me like it did for you

I used to work 7pm-5am. During the busy seasons (anytime around July 4th, and from two weeks prior to Thanksgiving through the week after New Year's)- we'd get anywhere from 2-5 hours of overtime EVERY night, not to mention that in those times, we'd have to come in an hour early. So my shift was 6pm-10am sometimes.

I work in a Liquor distribution warehouse. I was throwing cases on a conveyor belt all night long. It's incredibly taxing on the body. Go home, sleep, wake up, food, back to work. I did it for around a year and a half, maybe two years. It sucked the life out of me, I never saw my friends or girlfriend, but my bank account sky-rocketed. LOL.

I got promoted to days right quick, I busted my ass every night, and never slacked off. Now I work Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm, and it doesn't involve handing cases. I'm one of the main guys in inventory control. I get as much OT as I want, but I don't normally stay for any. I took a fifty cent pay cut coming to days, but immediately got a dollar raise, so it's like I actually got a fifty cent raise out of it. The warehouse unionized, my job is a non-union position. The union guys get shafted on a weekly basis. So glad I took this job offer!

Long story short, bust your ass, and make sure you have room to move up!

Which is great; and I know other people who went from VERY well-paying union positions to management and made an even better living for themselves so there's definately the opportunity to do so.

However, with that said; the unions generally due to provide more job security over management..and for the very small pay increase in my case at least, to go from what I do now to management, it doesn't make much sense - at least at this point in my life. Again, they do have their advantages and their place..Unfortunately, it also encourages people taking advantage of the system

I wish my boss wasn't such a jew and give me 9-5 type shift, but no, I have to devote my entire day to work! Chriiiiiiist.

Yeah, I know it stinks, but you do have a job, and you have the choice or working there on their terms, or leave. It's the cruel reality. Good luck.
