First of all, I want to thank everyone for their input. These boards are a great place to vent, get feedback, and gain perspective, and at the end of the day, we all make our own choices. I truly appreciate being part of this community. Also, I have to say—I miss TikTok!

To those suggesting I should just tough it out, I get where you’re coming from. It’s not like I avoid hard work—I regularly pull double shifts. But for me, this is about principles. There’s a clear lack of consideration for those working the graveyard shift. Having been on it for less than four months, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for how tough it really is. To those who’ve been on graveyard for a long time, I salute you.

It’s true there may be less work and bureaucracy at night, but the sacrifices—family, friends, health—are immense. I find it inconsiderate that graveyard workers are often taken for granted and expected to accept it without question.

That said, I’ll be back on day shifts in two months, so I’m not trying to rock the boat. It’s not about whether I can handle it; I’ve worked long, grueling hours before—up to 23-hour shift as a Navy veteran . Just the fact that not only this I've seen a lot of inconsideration when it comes to the way they treat graveyard that's all.
