I understand things can go pearshaped on a shift an staying an hour or 2 to sort it out is absolutely not a problem (tbh I aint even fussed about overtime pay or lieu pay)
sorry missed the chat guys. Had quick flick through n about three following hour out two comment worst i had was 6 hours, but that was because we had a serious incident needing tornado squads in so very rare
It is important to have a good holiday, if you dont pent up stress just piles up, not good for ya, even just going up to Scotland or doing Wales or something

Falk, the amount of times ive had to go in 4 or 5 hours earlier due to an issue that happened in store. Cancel days off, cancel annual leave. I think worklife balance will be a dream compared to what im used too.
Dealing with shite will be a daily occurrence mind !! I haven’t started but watched enough videos and documentary’s about everything Prison related. You watched anything ?
I think I read a thread you said your dad was a Prison Officer.. Part of my decision was also for a healthier work life balance. As a manager if a shift leader calls sick for a day and no one can cover it, guess what? My day off is cancelled and im in covering it. And im fed up with customer complaining about shite. I want to help people out with some real issues in there lives which I can have a big impact on,
My dad joined the service when the coal mines closed, and was in there until he retired. I wanted a career, left college early to work and get money on my pocket, worked my way up the ranks in a factory but became disillusioned with it all, and thought, why not give it a go ! It’s a job for life !
Tbh bear, I want to help people on a bigger level with life. As a manager I help people a lot with small problems and working in a prison I think i could help people overcome bigger problems in life... How about u?
Okay, you are a man on a mission, will be good when you get the link !! (we'll all be glued to the TV watching it!) mind you Tony Robinson is always worth a look in the meantime
