Who's Up? (lemmy.world)

I just got to work at 02:30, covering the second half of the graveyard shift. Pretty quiet night.

Not a whole lot. Made it through the dark hours without any trouble. Now we'll see how long I can zombie my way through my normal work hours 😵‍💫

Work in my opinion shouldn't make it a habit of doing this to people. Sleep is the most important factor to health and shouldn't be sacrificed in the name of work availability if it doesn't have to be, a lack of sleep is even cited as the root cause of several major disasters such as Chernobyl and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Anyone who values health and order would be advised to quit.

I know. We actually don't (can't) force OT. Strictly voluntary, with a 12-hour maximum.

Unfortunately (on this topic) I'm the acting Supervisor, so it kinda sorta falls in my lap when everyone says no. I don't actually have to do it, but if I don't, then there would be fairly major reporting problems with the state, not to mention public safety issues, and that would be more trouble than adjusting my schedule every once in a while.

We're, like almost all city positions, critically understaffed. Hiring is slow, but hopefully we get a new crop of people to train in the next several months.
