Mitch Cronin Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 It's something normal people get about 10 times a year or so... an extra day off tied to a couple others, so they can blow out their burn-out... or organise their what-nots, fix their kadiddles, clean up their honeydo's, polish up their layabout's, wax their whammy's, .... and spend a lot of money. ...the rest of us gaze in wonder... and envy.

Define normal Do abnormal people work and get overtime pay???? Then of course there are the "long weekend" asses that we see on our highways and in our campgrounds. One thing about working in a 24/7 industry, some of us do escape the dreaded longweekend. That way when you retire you really appreciate the continuous long weekends.

Mitch Cronin Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Actually... as Mike Lavoy will tell you, no, abnormal people - ie - wrench monkey within the IAM working a 4-on/4-off shift - work and get no overtime pay at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp fa Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I hate long weekends. I'm usually here by myself, because my whole family is employed in that "24/7" industry, and my "front yard" is littered with the constant flow of people invading my space in noisy wake boats, towing noisier children, who are screaming at a pitch and decibel level that I can feel in my spine. I much prefer a nice quiet Wednesday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, just curious..... that 4 x 4 shift. what are the hours (total time worked in 4 days (including breaks assuming they are paid). Reason I ask is for some of us, a rolling 4 x 4 shift was something to dream of. But ours was based on a 37.5 hour standard work week, so the actual shift was based on the annual hours divided by the number of working days in a 4x4 cycle. Never did get on one. The closest I had was 2 on 1 off 2 on and then 2 off. Dream shift, had weekends off and the midweek wed. Time to spend with the kids on the weekend and time to do chores on the Wed. (shopping etc was a joy sans weekend crowds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
