I get you and your wife and your kids will definitely appreciate everything you've done and sacrificed for them. I'm just saying make sure to make time and take off as needed. Like you don't want to miss out on little league games or school plays cause you were working late, yknow?

That's the thing. I work at a job where when your shift if up, you have to report to the scheduling office. If they need you they will force you to work another 8 hour shift. Being at the bottom of the seniority is tough.
Once a month they close down the plant for the weekend to clean (so that's really the only time I get to spend with the family. I make sure we have activities and fun things planned for the kids when I do have off, it's just tough mentally


I appreciate all the responses. I'm just going to hang in there and do it for the family.

Ahh damn I see. You're making the best of your situation, respect.

Would you guys work your *** off to make sure your family was takin care of financially? I mean working a month straight 60 hours a week without a day off. I've usually had jobs where I'm struggling to get by, and this is the first job where I can stack money at, plus buy whatever I want. Excellent pay and crazy benefits, but sometimes I wonder if the long hours and working weekends is worth it. Sorry for the long post

I would consider it, but it comes down to what you want for your family. Sure the pay, benefits, and living a comfortable life for your family is great, but how do you feel about working long hours? I understand the mentality of providing for your family, but I think your presence at home with family is very important.

I'm sure you'll get all kinds of advice to consider all options, but it all comes down to what is best for you and your family.

Hoping that the decision you make works out for you.

I think finding a job back home in California is going to be a challenge.

You guys must have terrible coworkers

You guys must have terrible coworkers 

It's not even that. There are co-workers who are cool. I just don't see the point of mixing my personal life with people I see almost everyday in a work environment. People who I really don't care for.

Y'all ever "mingled" with any of your coworkers

I went to a rooftop party with some (that came from another store to cover my store for the day) first time meeting them...2 girls and one guy..and ended up (drunk) kissing with one of the girls... later on her hubby came to pick her up

 

[ROYGBiV]

I would have gone home with the the guy.

yeah there is a huge age gap between my coworkers and I. So i don't have a lot in common with them. There are 2 people here that are younger and we get along and have hung out outside of work before. But my direct coworkers are a good 15 years older then me all with kids.

 

[bendover]

When I was at my first job I got along real cool with my coworkers. We would go out and function all the time.
Now my coworkers are about 10 years older than me.
A good time to them is having 2 drinks, complaining about work, and going home.
Im not about that life just yet

Sure did at my old job's holiday party. Open Bar, good food and music. Only mingled and talked to her though, since she was someone else within the company

Dude was the loud, obnoxious, employee that couldn't control himself after a couple of drinks.
