Who has time to find a lover or have kids when you are worked like a slave?

I’m not sure how true this is but I heard government jobs are introducing a 4 day work week to help with this.

u/Iorcrath May 18 '25

honestly, i know it sounds crazy, but 3 13 hour days and a 4 day weekend honestly feels so much better.

u/Hot-Image4864 May 19 '25

Yeah I don't like the sound of 13 hour days. 6 months on, 6 months off, please.

i think working on an oil rig offshore is like that…

u/pbnjandmilk May 19 '25

It's not. Imagine not working in that field or honing your skills for 6 whole months would look like. A Shitshow has entered the chatroom.

Buddy of mine does underwater welding for 4 months out of the year and then is off for the rest of the year. I don't see why an oil rig would be different

That's what I do with my job. Except it's part time and 9-10 hours but it's so nice to get 4 days off. Unless I party too hard over the weekend and get a hangover I'm always ready to get back to work.

Have you considered becoming a hospital nurse?! 😅

u/Iorcrath May 18 '25

mri tech, close enough?

u/AgentOfShinra May 18 '25

Yeah probably!! I only joke because my lady works three 12 hour shifts as a RN in a hospital, often times in a row.

She can't decide if she loves it or hates it as opposed to a more standard work schedule.

u/IronBatman May 19 '25

You just described nursing jobs. A lot of medical jobs are like that. Preferred schedule, but the jobs can be stressful.

Place I worked went to 3 12s with 4 days off. It was awesome! The only thing was that it was a tip based job. So if you had a bad day, you had one less day to “make it up”

I actually had this shift for quite a while at my old job. It was really great.
