Working Overnight shift ain't for the Weak

[GoAggieGo.]

And by the way in all my overnight hotel jobs I slept half the shift





I tell ppl all the time if you want an easy overnight job with not much responsibility just apply to a hotel as a night auditor

Your main responsibility is the audit which takes 30 minutes to an hour. Once 2 am hits hotel is dead and you knock out till 6

Man, I remember checking into a hotel at 3:30 one night, and I saw the front desk clerk sleep in the back. Couldn’t even be mad at him, lol. I’d probably do the same

I knew doorman who get $1,000 in just tips per week.


My friend whose a bellboy at the trump hotel got $1,000 every week in just tips and he bet all type of celebrities and bird man is a regular customer there.


It all depends where you work. Doorman in luxury buildings never leave their jobs. That’s why it’s hard to get them in NYC

Pay before tips is in the 20/hr range

Damn, this is what's up.

I never knew them brehs were banking like that.

Night shift was always my favorite

This is my first shift working overnight as a clinical administrator and after reading this thread it's going to be my last.

Damn. It's not for me. Truly will age you and send you to an early...

working from home overnight is for everyone though

When all of the people that are senior to you work days, so you're just cooling it and answering to no one.

That's how it is at my job. The funny thing is all the high seniority folks works days and be like to the folks working second and third, but they be the most stressed out. Gotta wake up at 4 in the morning to be ready to work at 6:30 with all the suits and salaried folks up your ass. Nope .

Overnight shift brehs anthem

Breh, I did that shyt from 2014 to 2016 at my last machinist job. Sunday nights were the WORST. 1st of all, you gotta sleep during the day, when there are NFL games going on. Then, leaving for work at 10:30, while people are ending their weekend with a good night's sleep. I would pass the liquor store and legit be envious of ppl standing outside, with nothing to do and all this free time.

When they offered me 1st shift, I jumped at it.

I will never work 3rd shift again. I work 2nd now and I laugh at ppl when they say 3rd is better than 2nd

Working 3rd shift totally changes your pattern. You have to sleep during the day. At least on 1st and 2nd, you sleep at night.

Exactly.

Those arent natural hours. We are used to sleeping at night.

3rd shift during the summer is absolute bullshyt. Get off work at 7am, go outside and it is 75 degrees and sunny, but you gotta go home and sleep while birds are chirping and ppl are cutting the grass. I only SLIGHTLY enjoyed 3rd shift in the fall.

Swing shift was wild. I did it at a factory in the summers while in college. Going from 8-4 to midnight-8am in two weeks was sum shyt i never got used to.

Chemical Plant
6am- 6pm then switch to 6pm to 6am every 2 weeks.

I’ll say this. If u can avoid it, u should. Did it for a number of years. Now I can’t sleep without the aid of pills. Benedryl, advil pm. Xanax is great for this but u can’t take it nightly. In fact, u shouldn’t be taking the others nightly either but one can only toss and turn for so long before saying fucck it. And no, melatonin doesn’t work for me.

shyt xanax will have you out here committing crimes and shyt and have you not remember

Everytime I take xanax it's like I blackout.

Been working it since 2014. It’s still hard to manage the time after and before work hours. No matter how much sleep you get before going in, you still feel tired. Can’t do shyt on the weekdays. You turn into a on the weekends. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The night differential is cool tho.

 

[Gunz&Butta]

I love night shift. I work alone and do whatever I want with no Supervisors or managers. Im usually on my tablet all night watching shows and movies.
