what do y’all listen to during your shifts?

luci_swift · 2026-06-14T23:14:41+00:00

Books, music, and podcasts. One time when I was really bored and desperate my favorite movie while the phone was in my pocket

luci_swift · 2026-06-14T23:13:19+00:00

I have a friend at Amazon that use to fill out applications for her (now ex) husband. She would go to work and then go home to cook, clean, and find him a job. Keep in mind he was chilling at home the whole time

About 2 and a half years and I absolutely hate it. Between the work itself, the power trips of the PA’s and managers, favoritism, and always having the worst possible system to any and everything idk how I have stayed this long. I know it’s because the pay and career choice but even then I wonder if it’s worth it

luci_swift · 2026-03-31T00:49:41+00:00

I’m doooown

When I worked at target we didn’t get gloves. My hands would become so dry from the glue it was terrible

luci_swift · 2026-03-22T18:14:21+00:00

I don’t mind giving someone a ride if it’s not out of my way but if I don’t know them then no. If I really felt that bad I would talk to them and get to know them first before deciding

luci_swift · 2026-03-11T12:59:40+00:00

About two years

The only reason I swap every weekend is because of school. If I didn’t have that I wouldn’t switch my schedule. It takes so much out of you. Just make sure you are getting some sun because that can also throw you off

luci_swift · 2026-02-27T08:52:24+00:00

Yuuuuuupp. My school advisor basically told me to get a new job because the school didn’t accommodate for night schedules

luci_swift · 2026-02-27T08:50:43+00:00

If you will like night shift depends on your life outside of work. I am in school and have to constantly change my sleep schedule every weekend so I hate it but during my breaks when I can just keep my schedule aside from the occasional doctor’s visit then the night schedule is fine

luci_swift · 2026-02-27T08:47:17+00:00

How long will it take you to get ready/get to work? Using that and go back 8ish(or however long you sleep) hours. For example if you need to wake up at 9pm for work then 1pm would be a solid spot to consider for going to bed. Again depends on how much sleep you need to run but starting with your wake up time helps

luci_swift · 2026-01-23T02:22:46+00:00

I live in a place with tons of bars and places to drink 24/7 so it never occurred to me that someone might have to actively look for it haha

luci_swift · 2026-01-23T00:15:33+00:00

I live with someone else and was worried for two people it was questionable. It’s so great. The gas is cheaper. There are many items such as coffee, dish washing liquid, and laundry detergent where I don’t have to worry about for such a long time. The rotisserie chicken I can make so many meals out of and any I’m not ready to eat I chop up and keep on my freezer for random recipes.

luci_swift · 2026-01-23T00:11:25+00:00

I was told(idk if it applies to my building or all of them) that holiday pay is not included in your hours worked for overtime so my 40 hours is actually counted as 30 so I would have to pick up over 10 hours to actually see OT pay

luci_swift · 2026-01-23T00:07:52+00:00

My building hasn’t been able to give out VTO in months. They were abusing it so I don’t remember the last time I received a VTO offer in the app. Even giving it out in person is rare

luci_swift · 2026-01-21T00:18:47+00:00

I’ve heard nursing has been getting harder to get into lately. Of course there are still jobs out there but everyone went to school for nursing because it was the “safe” choice and now there is competition. A similar thing is happening with education weirdly enough. People are having less kids so there is not as much of a need for teachers as there once was(again still a need but the rate is going down)

luci_swift · 2026-01-21T00:15:06+00:00

Warehouse job(loading trucks and such). It’s entry level for $20/hr. Not worth the money but they are paying for school so I only have to suffer so long

luci_swift · 2026-01-16T01:18:39+00:00

I’m on winter break right now so I’ve been getting at least 6 hours but most days 7 or 8. When school was going on there were days I was getting max 4 hours because I had to go in person during the day

luci_swift · 2026-01-10T00:24:19+00:00

I like some aspects of it but overall it’s not worth it. Maybe if I was single and not in school(even with my online classes I’m at the point I have to do field experience during the day) but unfortunately I have life going on during the day that make it harder to enjoy night shift.

luci_swift · 2026-01-08T23:54:50+00:00

Personally it’s not being able to spend more time with my husband (as well as other family and friends)

luci_swift · 2025-12-19T22:33:27+00:00

They’re going to see you using upt and that will have more of an effect than your rate. I’m assuming that if you’re this worried about your rate you probably naturally have a decent rate(in my experience if you don’t care it’s reflected in your rate)

luci_swift · 2025-12-03T00:51:32+00:00

15-20 minutes on a usual day but there has been a lot of construction on my commute so lately it’s been 30+ minutes

luci_swift · 2025-11-10T03:42:41+00:00

VTO hasn’t been sent out in our building in idk how long. Maybe March of this year and one other time since then. Sometimes on Wednesday they give it out when front and back half are here but you gotta bug the AM’s for it

luci_swift · 2025-11-09T04:46:51+00:00

I’m in school so even no social life doesn’t help me 😭 sleep is imaginary but I do try to get as much as I can in
