Thank you.

Good rant, I’m not ready to face the day, so I’m going to go hide in bed some more.

Welcome to the club. My entire week had a wrench thrown in it because of a big project, so now I'm playing catch up while I'm not on night shifts.

I got suckered into it as well. I normally work every fifth weekend but someone quit and his last day was the day before what should’ve been his weekend. Since I am the top slot on the overtime list (which was just created last week and has me first because I started 2 weeks before the rest of the guys in my position) I got stuck working today.

Could be worse; another guy gets to work tomorrow and since Easter isn’t a paid holiday he doesn’t get extra for it. He’ll get overtime at time and a half but if you work on a paid holiday you get 8 hours holiday pay and double time for whatever you work.

I’m trying to brighten his day by putting plastic eggs with little “prizes” for him to find in some of our sample stations and on some equipment.

Do you get paid for working today, or is it a freebie for the company like at my old job?

I'm salaried-ish, there are X mandatory weekend shifts a year for me and others in my department.

So, freebie?

I guess I’m lucky. I’m in a 24/7 environment, but with paid overtime. Some months I have weekends, sometimes not. Right now I have the 1800/0300 shift Saturday and Sunday as part of my week, and it’s sweet, especially on a holiday weekend. Fewer customer calls, fewer vehicles out on the road.

The downside to this operation is that I can’t really make any long-term plans. I’ve had to give up my volunteer work because I don’t know what my schedule is going to be month to month. It also makes dating a bit of a challenge, especially if she has a “normal” schedule.

I don’t always love my job but the union gets us paid and there is no such thing as a freebie.
