What I am finding out now this time around is that in mainstream retail, working six days has become the standard.
Yep, one day off!
Let us think about that shall we...
I did a post last year on how overworked Americans are compared to the rest of the world. Now the excuse is that you should be happy to have a job.
How happy? Not very.
But I maybe forced to take to take any job soon to bring some income.
But to save my sanity I need two days off. It may upset my comfort zone to work at something different but I will have to try. Plus there is a house to maintain. It will quickly fall into disrepair. And I will not let that happen.
oh, did I mention about the twelve hour days? Sometimes the work week might be 60-70 hours.
oh the insanity!

P.S.
I went on an interview yesterday. They like me, but a second interview might not be for another week or so.
The waiting continues.

What? 6 days a week? 12 hour days? Ouch!
I understand the need to make a living, but are employers just taking advantage of people needing a job?
Good luck on the second interview.

They are taking advantage of the situation. But eventually things swing back the other way.
thanks!
