Posted by Mister Notsleepy on August 15, 2002 at 06:27:29:I just found these forums and want to vent a little. I've never worked shift work before. I was outsourced to a contract company. Part of the allure of the out-source was that our jobs/schedules would not change....at least that is what they told us that so we wouldn't leave. It gradually happened over time. I was moved approx 5 times to different positions. In one instance I was trained for about a week to take over a position and was told this is it....moved into the position worked about an hour then was moved again. Then was moved into a global call center. Moved from 8 to 5, M-f to 7:30 to 7:30, 7 days alternated night/days. Our schedule was something like this: On Mon, Tues; Off Wed, Thurs; On Fri, Sat, Sun; Off Mon, Tues; On Wed, Thur; Off Weekend then switch to same days again but on nights. I did this for about 4 months then quit. I was so sick during that time that my doctor told me to quit. I didn't know whether I was coming or going. I went days without sleeping and I couldn't concentrate. I was put on 2 different blood pressure pills. Anyways..thats behind me now and I'm looking for a new job. Thanks for letting me vent. My sleep is still screwed up. There is nights I can't get to sleep until 3 am.
