People do what it takes to survive. I dont think you should complain considering many people would do anything to work at all. The more hours, the more money. You have to do whatever it takes to survive.

If its not busy I do, but I have gone many shifts not eatting till 5 or 6s hours late. And MANY shifts with no sleep. 911 trumps all, and we get no set breaks.

my average work day is min. 8 hours... although in my field over time is nothing new and pretty much expected... throw in clients meetings / dinners etc and that 8 hour day can easily turn into a 16+ hour day...

Can't believe any one would even consider complaining about a 10 hour work shift because they were tired... try doing large scale event setup for a whole month averaging about 2 hours sleep a night, working in the office during the day and working through the night to do setup and repeat...

In fact, i would say try working in ANY Asian city and then come back to complain about being tired since most people in Asia work much longer than 8 - 10 hour days...

I work to live. I don´t live to work. I want live a happy life and beside that...you can´t make a 24 h shift in my business. When i´m sleepy or hungry i can´t think in full potential.

Are you serious? It is sad that some bosses don't honor work and pay a fair salary. I can't complain with my income and working conditions. A 60 - 80 hour week is sick man.

I can't blame it on the bosses. I knew what I was getting into when I was hired and I do get paid enough to make it on 40hrs. I just want my kids to have the things that I did not as a kid.
That and I am saving money to open my own machine shop some day.

Ouch. Atm we are 24 on 72 off. Most of our stations couldnt do your schedule. Way too busy.

Sadly they are trying to force us onto 24/48s with no increase in pay to make up for the excess hours worked.
