This latest propaganda they are pushing is just Johnny come lately bullshit. Instead of going to a difficult place and finally addressing the root of the problem --- a deathtrap unhealthy schedule from HELL --- they give you 2 Bayer Aspirin and then threaten you when your' heart disease didn't go away. The military did same with Motrin 800s. The schedules we work are unmitigated disasters that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. They suck the life out of you slowly until you are a shell of yourself...... "with an amazing job". What is so amazing about killing yourself in the name of 3 days off in a row? How many people have you seen schedule for Night, Night, Night, day, mid? The double quick turn. The "Ironman". OR 2 random mids? Or all sorts of crazy bullshit. Just shutup and work it because "they are allowed" to schedule that they say.
So you exercise Sick Leave strategically for your own self preservation and to lessen the blow while balancing the soul sucking quick turns with your actual life; and you are threatened endlessly with sick leave letters and little tacit threats that they're 'watching you' and you better not dare show up at so and so's BBQ or the game or anywhere fun. Because your are a scamming malingerer and you have an AMAZING JOB. Then when pushed to the wall you invoke Fatigue Leave in the CBA and you are hit hard from all angles with threats to your medical; which only raises your anger, stress, and quickens your hearts' 25 year death march. Double time! And you get self righteous coworkers who say things like how can people take this amazing job for granted!? This is the greatest job in the whole wide world! Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Jack Dorsey are literally jealous of this job its so great we can make $70 an hour and live in Aurora, IL and buy name brand cereal, have all the streaming services, and watch them on the latest APPLE product on our mid shifts. Then crawl home and be zombified for a day and a half while the world keeps on spinning just the same. How could anyone not be willingly to kill themselves for THAT? All this can be yours...
You might be feeling young and strong and ready to work the busiest sector (like a fool) for 4 hours straight to show what an alpha you are, or "Give me all my days as quick turns, i'll get them out of the way quicker!", but you will be dead by 60 (if youre lucky). And no one at ZAU will give 2 shits. They will make some stupid "too soon" jokes about you and you will be back to the dust. The schedules are a joke. Its a slap in the face when you are watching and living a slow moving trainwreck and when a coworker finally crashes they are a disgrace to the profession. "Man that Ryan Newman crash was sickening. How could this have happened? I sure hope he is ok. Everyone on twitter please pray for him even if you aren't a NASCAR fan. O he's fine? Cool. K. Meet here again next week? Same bat time, same bat channel, hehe! Cya on double mids, but watchout theyre having a crackdown, some loser fell asleep! LOL oh geez sommme people". We must break out of this hive mind mentality.
