Triple heart buy pass
If you do not mind me asking how old are you and how many shifts do you work each week?
Hi and welcome to the forum. Wanted to add this to my original reply but system decided I could not edit my own post!
I do 5 days 8am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday
With a 30 min dinner no other brakes and I’m stud up for the rest of that
That is a 45 hour week which is on the long side. In my teens I had two short term labouring jobs where I considerably more hours but then the hours above 40/44 were at overtime rates which varied between 1.5 – 3,0 times hourly rate. I was also far fitter then! In fact, I took a considerable pay cut when I started a career! You do not say how old you are but I think wither a 4 day week or a 7.5 hour day would be more suitable. After all you should not be sacrificing your health. In all honesty I think you also need a 15 minute tea break morning and afternoon. Sadly, working conditions have changed over the years – whilst there is more attention to Heath and Safety there is less regards for the employee’s wellbeing. I blame the minimum wage, zero hour contracts and former party leaders from both sides of the house for this!
Work have just agreed that I can cut my hours down to 35 a week so I’ll be finishing at 3.30 now instead of 5.30 that makes a big difference
