Job change opportunity... - Page 3

**luv** · 06-18-2007, 06:19 PM

There is an assistant supervisor position open on our overnight shift. It's in another area, but I know how to do everything here. I'm unsure about adjusting my schedule, but I would love to have my nights free. Any of you third shifters have any helpful tips for adjusting my sleep schedule? I think I'm going to put my name in for it.

the $0.25/hr doesn't seem worth while.
Moving to a different area to help you round your career step up later maybe, be the team player. Mgmt looks at that as well.

I worked night stock at Price Chopper during a couple of summer and Christmas breaks while I was in college. My dad has worked an overnight shift at the KC Star for over 40 years; I figured that if he could do it I could too.

I had absolutely no social life since my friends were going out about the time I was going in to work (10PM), but that didn’t really matter too much since I was really po’ at the time.

I got used to a schedule of coming home after work, having a bite to eat then sleeping all day. I’d then have dinner with the family, spend a couple of hours for free time then head off to work again.

By the way, the freaks really do come out at night.

I'd be working a 11:45PM-7AM shift with a long night on Sunday night/Monday morning.

I don't know how you do it luv. I worked a 3-11:30 shift during my skool daze and it tore me up. Plus I missed all the parties on Friday and everyone was partied out on Saturday when I was ready to go.

It makes sense to me if it's more money and it works better schedule-wise.

Done it for three years now. I needed the money at the time, and didn't have a life anyway. I'm trying to get back out into the social scene. Done a lot of self-improvement, and I'm happier when I'm social. It's time for a change.

I've discovered one little glitch. I'm currently interested in the assistant on overnight shift that does the job that I'm doing now on my shift. If I go to that shift, I wouldn't be able to persue that since we would then answer to the same supervisor. Kinda sucks, but I still think it would be worth it in the long run.
