Swimmod_Luna Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Getting mandated overtime is going to be so much fun when I have to work 2pm-6am And then drive 30 minutes home just to sleep for 6 hours and then get ready to go back to work At least I'm hourly I do think it will be a fun job so hopefully they get more staff really soon so I won't have to do too much of this mandated overtime <_< Working 3rd shift especially is gonna suck since there's not as much to do since most clients are sleeping. There may be the occasional person who has a behavior issue at 4am that needs dealing with but not as many as I'll see on 2nd. We're not allowed to sleep or use our phones ever and I'm afraid that I'll either 1. Fall asleep while on shift due to being bored, 2. Fall asleep while driving home and crash my car, or 3. Have a client start acting out and me not do what I'm supposed to due to being too tired to think, and then get fired. But they did say we can bring a book to read if we're on 3rd shift, so at least I won't die of boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnmjy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 But you're getting paid 15 x 1.5 = 22.5 per hour, so you can look forward to a big paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and beats the system My assigned shift is 2pm-10pm but there are so few people to work 3rd shift right now that they will sometimes make us stay over for 3rd shift. Hopefully they hire more staff soon and it doesn't last long. They have cameras everywhere so they'd see me with my phone and I can't sleep with my eyes open.

My pay is $15.60, so it would actually be 23.40 <_< And yes I look forward to the paycheck for sure. Too bad I'll have no time to spend it. Apparently there was a news story awhile back about some nurses that worked here who made more money than the state governor because of how much OT they did. Granted their base pay is higher and they did some voluntary OT on top of the mandated OT, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 jesus christ this place sounds terrible. my job has cameras but they don't use it to check if people are on their phones The cameras are there to make sure no one is abusing the clients or anything. And to help clear staff when clients make false allegations. Apparently they're considering changing the cell phone policy to be a bit more lenient. I would imagine we still couldn't be on our phones all shift though, since we're there to help the clients not look at our phones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 then again for $23 an hour i can't entirely say i'd blame you >_> Honestly if this weren't for the state I probably would have nope'd out of there as soon as I heard they can mandate us to work a double. But the pay is better than anything I'm gonna find in this field at this level, and the benefits and opportunities for advancement if I can get a permanent position would be amazing.

Also just because the clients are SUPPOSED to sleep doesn't mean they do for 8 straight hours. Apparently some clients are one-on-one and have to be at arm's length at all times and their staff has to sit outside their door. That would suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
