what is trolling? Does that mean killing time in nights?

truth hurts..always has.........

So noone can post anything that is contrary to how you personally feel? what sort of attitude is that? I am merely discussing the reality for those who think its all a bundle of laughs and a big train set...

Can i just correct this- there is no such thing as a 'five day weekend' - that's just to make it sound good. Last time I knew, a weekend was Saturday and Sunday.

That's true- there is indeed no such thing as facts. There is opinion though- and I've just put the question to the whole mess room up here..... hmmm.... noone wants to do shifts..... surprise...

I'd recommend the latter

There we go- as it really is.

We are all doing it for the money- if it were unpaid- would you still be there? There are few or no advantages to shift work- medical, lifestyle, social - none. It's decently paid for blue-collar work. I've never said I hated it- you're working up a fury- chill out. Nobody opts to do shiftwork-...

hahahahaha good point- however it is NOT a decent place to work!! Where on earth did you work before???????

A sensible post...based on reality...

I think you've just contradicted yourself. Who on earth wants to work for 13 days in a row? That really is sweat-shop stuff. I didn't say I hate shift work, did I? I actually was not the one who said it was killing me slowly. Read back. What is keeping me in the 'grade' (ugh)- money. I'm...

Another smart, but ultimately ignored, comment.

In what way are my comments 'militant'? What a bizarre thing to say. I'm not advising anyone- it's just how it is... if the OP enters this 'grade' then they should know what they are in for.... if you were low-paid before, then yes, it's a step up. The smarter posts give the reality, this...

I didn't dispute that the phrase is used daily, it's just SO Victorian!

Another decent post of the reality...... many good points here......... the choice at the end of the day is simple: easy(ish) cash - social life destroyed OR work harder for the same or less cash- with the commute etc....evenings and weekends to enjoy yourself..... This is a really...

This is one of the smartest and most honest posts on here................... rose-tinted glasses for the rest!

smart man.....

The training is the good bit...after 6/7 years- you'll be like everyone else..........washed out...

Exactly!
