It's been a number of years since we've seen a change in our shift pattern at work. I suppose with all the cuts and people we've lost a change was inevitable. We found out about the new shifts at the beginning of the year (we are entitled to 90 days notice). The biggest difference will be moving from a 4 week to a 3 week rotation. It also means more weekend work but less late finishes. I have no choice but to embrace the change and get on with it, after a short time nobody will notice the difference.
I think people have to be grateful to have a job these days and accept whatever changes employers make. Husband's former workplace re-organised every twelve months or so and he had to apply for his own job so they could bring in new contracts!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame it has to be like that though. Everyone gets treated like dirt and told to be grateful!
DeleteI suppose less late shifts are good :)
ReplyDeleteThere's the same amount of lates it's just that they fall more towards the weekend.
