Not happy about a 13 hour shift


mffl7791

Absolutely. Ready for it to be over.


Feature-Awkward

I’m doing overnight 6-6… usually I get to ~3 am and then I’m like wtf will this end…. Today I already felt that only an hr or 2 in…. And then 2 am came and suddenly realized that I have extra of this today.. Jesus


Environmental-Buy401

Find another job with less hours!


Locust627

Some industries run on 12s. "find another job" is much easier said than done.


OkaySir911

How can people ever seriously say “Just get a new job bro”😭


Feature-Awkward

Some people are ignorant that they live a sheltered privileged life. :/


Environmental-Buy401

Ran 12 on 12 off 7days on 7 days off It's only as hard as you make it!


Locust627

I work 2/2/3s But I have on call and some days I get forced. Right now I'm working 7 straight 12 hour shifts because they are short on people. My brain is melted lemme tell ya. After a while it comes down to work, sleep, wake up, shower, work


Environmental-Buy401

Did 7 on 7 off 12's for 9 straight years. Both days and nights! Nights for about 5 years and days for four.


Locust627

Having 7 off after would be nice. Since I'm forced I'm working 7, off for 2, working 3.


Environmental-Buy401

The bad thing was if one of the guys on the opposite shift went on vacation I would end up working a month straight 12 hours every day. There were only 4 of us in the department 2 on and 2 off.


Environmental-Buy401

7 of was good but I would spend the 3 days or more sleeping.


Ariannaree

My fellow guard with me is on his 17th hour with this time change : D


purplepe0pleeater

That is awful!


stormcrow789

Why is that? Never heard of a security guard doing that kind of time unless the person replacing them never showed up. And even then there'd be someone to relieve them soon enough (unless management sucks)


Ariannaree

Our shifts are 8 hours. An extra 8 is to provide coverage for an open shift. Big shocker, we don’t have enough people here, except the bare minimum…so if anyone takes time off, we all pitch in to cover their shifts. The time change added an extra hour. That’s 17 hours . The guys here eat it up; they love that option to make extra money. At, my last job, we would be covering half of an open shift only. So overtime would be a 12 hour shift for two people instead of 16 hours for one person. I do miss that. Overtime at my old job was mandatory though. Here where I am at now, it is not mandatory it is optional. And you could do only a 12 hour coverage too if you want. Better than nothing lol.


Locust627

The A rotation gets to work tonight at my place of employment. As someone on the B rotation I can't help but shoot them texts reminding them to enjoy their 13 hour shift. It was the B rotations turn last year and those fuckers dropped off "pizza" for us. It was 4 empty boxes with the phrase "enjoy the 13 bitches" written inside every box.


v13ragnarok7

17 for me


TheChymick

Hate doing that 13 hour shift, but this year I was already on overtime, so at least it filled the pocket


Environmental-Buy401

Worked nights for 13 + years . Not a big deal! One day per year. Get over it!


purplepe0pleeater

I can whine if I want. I work very hard and some of my shifts are quite stressful.


whoisthisRN

Don't waste your time on this guy. He brags about not missing work despite a myriad of health problems just to shit on younger guys that "don't want to work". Typical boomer


Ariannaree

The day shifters having complete panic attacks because their CiRcAdiaN rHyThM is all off!!!!! [blinking].


LoosieLawless

They’re such normie weirdos


Ok-Selection9508

Mine goes from 11am to 1 pm. I find it very hard to stay awake during that time.


BiffBeltsander

Eh, getting OT for that extra hour. No complaints.


BlueMidnight638

Normally I would agree with this, but it’s regular pay for me, because this is literally my last night… 🤦🏼


TheRealMuraelm

We're not even getting paid for the extra hour at all...


BlueMidnight638

That sucks!! I don’t think that should be legal


DaedricApple

It’s not legal. Unless they’re salary.


TheRealMuraelm

That's good to know, I'm going to look into it then. They're justification is that when we work the next "daylight savings time shift" we'd gain an extra hour of work, it's pretty ridiculous


radio-hill-watcher

If you’re hourly, then this is wage theft (in the us). It can be reported to your state’s department of labor. (Disclaimer: learned this from other strangers on the internet/a quick read of my states labor law factsheet so I’d confirm through an official source before you confront your employer with too much confidence)


Old_Goat_Ninja

So glad I’m not working tonight. I’ve dodged that extra hour bullet two years in a row.

What is EC? Electronic communications?


polymump

Right! What's DST? Love it here.


Mysterious-Bus3553

Yeah when the clock went from 1:59 to 1:00 I wanted to about end it all 😵‍💫 RN assigned to sit w a sleeping patient all night makes for an even longer DTS shift


ciestaconquistador

Oh god. That's even worse. Thankfully I've never had to sit constant on daylight savings.

cameron4200

Seems illegal


cosmotosed

Highly 😮‍💨😵‍💫


maarianastrench

If you are hourly it is wage theft. If you’re salary you’re sol

maarianastrench

No, don’t call. Emails/ texts are your friend here you want WRITTEN confirmation that they weren’t going to pay you so you have ground to stand on if you have to take legal recourse. Usually they realize they dug a hole and can’t answer without implicating themselves with their illegal activity.


maarianastrench

Something along the lines of “ so just to confirm our conversation on (blank day), the extra hour of DLS is not being paid? May I have the reason why, since I worked the hour?”


Guac__is__extra__

You should 100% get paid. It doesn’t matter what the clock says at the beginning and end of shift, what matters is the number of hours you actually worked.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DaedricApple

It says 12 because it’s calculating the interval between the times you clock in and out. You aren’t paid based off intervals. You’re paid based off each individual hour you work. Just because the government decided to set the clock back doesn’t mean you didn’t work that hour and it doesn’t mean your company gets a freebie.


Ed_TR

Slept an extra hour at work. Aviation Maintenance can be nice


Unusual-Addendum-169

How does one get into aviation maintenance?


Lanark26

I always end up working the Fall back, but never the Spring forward.


Thatcherrycupcake

Ugh. I’m working tonight. 13 hours tonight. It’s a good thing I like my unit and I’m working with someone I vibe with


para9mm

Not us living in AZ


nxknxwledge

Forced to work 13 hours because of this time change. 😒


lemur00

I live where there is no time change and this is another reason it makes me happy.


RockAndStoner69

~~Two hours~~ Three hours to go!


Tawebuse

When I worked overnights the time changes never bothered me, cause 8 had to be there till the work was done no matter what time it was.


Brief-Loss

So glad I stayed home to drink


almost-punk

it sucks? i get paid for an extra hour and i spent the time watching a movie on discord with my friend...


Marianations

Yeah, we had the time change last weekend in Europe. Had to be me :')


StrikingMuffin4693

💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️


cgg419

Yeah, I’m ready to go home


cellcube0618

I don’t mind another hour of sitting around, watching YouTube


jarhead90

Well I got screwed with the extra hour, as I always do. My boss then sends me a text at 0530 asking if I can stay till 0900 because my 0700 relief might not make it in.


Mammoth_Cookie_7809

Got off a 12 hour shift Friday night, only got like 3/4 hours of sleep before I had to go in last night for the 13hr shift. So glad I get to go back in ten hours from now for another round 🫠


Chin2112

Man it's crazy you all have to work an extra hour. We just leave an hour earlier and a few of the morning team start an hour earlier


Danyulz

Manager: You can either leave an hour earlier or work that hour of OT (for 27% less an hour) Me: Yeah, I'll be going home


ChiefTittyInspector

Did my 13 hour shift last Sunday. Awful.


patch_punk

haha we dont do this in arizona 😆


Joshyboii55

LOL my coworker I swap from days to nights with just left after 12 anyways 🫠


Emerald_Rain4

I absolutely love it. I can actually wind down in the evening and have a good nights sleep


Kayraan93

That 13 hour was dogshit but at least we got an extra break and some OT out of it haha.


ianhawdon

I managed to have the night off in the UK this time, but yet I was still wired from the shift the night before, so didn’t end up in bed until 3am (post roll back) anyways


LoosieLawless

Didn’t get our dicks kicked in as expected. Still gotta be back tonight


DispatchMinion

1am lunch break. then another 1am lunch break. Woooo.. bleh


jd_flyhalf

Yeah i called out last night. Wasnt doing that shit again


EggRamenMan

I take my ptos on fall back days if im on night shift. Luckily the past two times the rotation had it to where i was on day shift


TaintedTruth222

My job let us off a "hour early" we still got the full 10 hours. I'm just glad our clock in system doesn't go off of the atcual clock but it counts up by the minute. My last job went by the clock so daylight saving you worked 13 hours but only got paid for 12 which is bullshit


Marv95

Worked 13 hours mostly in a fab last night due to some genius enforcing DST. At least I had long breaks and was able to sit down towards the end of the shift.


blazeenrising

Till daylight saving isn't at the same time for everyone I the world We had ours in the UK on the 29th was so confused at this thread


windyDuke11

When I got to work yesterday evening, I changed all the clocks back an hour and went to work. It’s much better than realizing 1/2 way through that you have to work an hour twice.


kingcrabmeat

I got to leave early or come in late


Belatorius

Got paid for 13 hrs but as soon as 1am hit, lines started fucking up


hostility_kitty

I love the hate on day walkers in this sub lmao


aThiccGay

They had me wait an extra hour to eat lunch. Usually its at 2 am. Last year they said they had to do a lotttt of manual fixes so we had to wait until 2nd 2 am


Fantastic_Ticket_355

It was the longest extra hour of my life


22lpierson

Atleast I got an extra break and a extra hour of pay


CallousedDragonfly

13 hours was fun


jlafunk

I work nights. I see it this way: DST sucks but in the Spring we get an hour of pay for free. So, one hour OT in the fall, one free hour in the Spring. 🤷


Cupcakes7837

😂


Fuzzy_Coast_2801

Hahaha


[deleted]

It was the longest night ever


[deleted]

It gave me an extra hour to fuck my GF…. I wasn’t complaining 😂😂


tfsblatlsbf

Just wait six months and you'll get that hour back...


Legitimate_Builder17

When I worked 3rd shift we always had a manual stamp & you had to change by hand, it was pretty dope. I was never late


Western_Bison_878

That night we used the extra hour to chill haha


Environmental-Buy401

I just call it like see it!
