So how does that all fit in with an average 48 hour week - not to mention the possibility that it may well be overnighting as well!I’ve always argued that if we choose to adopt bent practices in the name of “Times are 'ard”, then it will become the industry standard expected of all of us. Wot is anyone doing that kind of hours for anyway? - Low pay that pays minimum debt interest?
Just go low-field, and use the low basic pay to walk away from all of that. Better to default debts owed to a bunch of millionaires than kill someone next Friday morning rush hour……Running half asleep over a cyclist near you!..
The only other industry I know of that involves abusing their staff in this way is Junior Doctors in the NHS… How many have died, and have yet to die because of half-asleep doctors on 80+ hour weeks?
When someone dies, no one in authority at said firm goes to jail. THAT’S the problem with any bent system, and the reason there’s nothing to stop it carrying on being bent. Legal murder, incorporated into the system. Only the fool on the ground who’s been pushed into aiding and abetting the company gets to take the fall…
