I just hit my year on nights and realized recently I am still NOT acclimated to being a night zombie. How does everyone else cope with flopping schedules on off days and managing to not be a complete night walker?

I’ve been working nights for close to 8yrs. Lol. As long as you don’t rotate too much from day shifts, your body will adjust. Welcome to Nocturnity.

Night duty becomes a routine after doing it for a long time, if the schedule is consistent. I had to adjust my entire lifestyle but now I can't sleep unless there's daylight.

I have a different take because I did nights for 3 years and it never got any better for me. I had to eventually move districts because there was no way for me to switch schedules in my previous district. I really don't think everybody is equipped to handle nights in the same way

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Stereotyping?

The first time I ignored that, but now it has become a pattern and is bothering me now. I am south-American working in the UK.
