Yeah, cuz reading a book is a GREAT way to stay awake....
So am I correct that you do not get put on shifts?
I.E. I have family in law enforcement and they are on a set shift for 3-6 months and then they rotate. This seems like an ok way to go to me, as they get used to their shift, so they aren't playing catch up everytime they work nigh shift...only when shift rotation first starts.
Oh, so it is fairly easy to trade shifts?
I think I would like working Mids most of the time.
You get to avoid traffic going to work and coming home where I live.
because of the differential pay?You won't be working any mids until you get a whole lot of seniority. That shift is for us old dogs, not you young pups.
Gotta go to sleep, got three mids in a row.
because of the differential pay?
When you're in training you are going to be on whatever shift your trainer is on, except for the classroom training, which is during the day. At least it is at my facility.My curiosity about this goes something like this:
I am used to working later in the day. I prefer it. I'm a night owl, by nature. I don't mind working the late shifts.
My only concern would be when I'm starting out. I want to get trained as quickly as possible (obviously), and it seems to me like working the late shift might not be in my best interest as far as this is concerned. Is there some sort of happy medium that can be reached here?
