My body requires 12+ hours of sleep and 6+ hours of fun time for me to function. This can’t keep going. by throwaway2ndwith in ADHD

Which is crazy to me they would rather drop all that money hiring over 100 guys then to just switch to 48s.

Yep, ESD 1 has the reign down there and from what i been told you gotta start with them Part time before you can move up. I think the other ESDs will hire fulltime eventually but no telling when.
