Change in Shift Timings... How would you cope with it?

in my office like that, many of my friends doesnt like when bos change their shift time. but for me, it`s not problems

I haven't experience that. But I think your new shift is great compared with those that needs to wake up early. As for me its ok to change my shift as long as its not night shift. I'll resign first before they put me in a night shift. The increase in pay is nothing compared to the joy of sleeping in night. :D

If my shift had changed like that I would be looking for another job. I wouldn't have a way home. The buses stop around 10pm. I had a set schedule for many , years amd then last May it totally changed. I went from Wednesday -Friday to Mondays,Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. It took some time but I like it now.I have a work week that is the opposite. Monday is Friday. Tuesday is Saturday, etc.Good Luck with your new schedule.

Hi Mr_pearl! My sister has this same problem as yours. She didn't liked the late night schedules when she first started but she got used to it. And the advantages for her, is that she can sleep more, and make more things during the day because she will work late at night. She doesn't like too when her schedule is changed every two weeks. But at least at her office, they announced it one or two weeks before so you can plan ahead. Especially when it pertains to day offs. If I were to work in the BPO industry. I would prefer the 3pm to 12:30am. Because I don't sleep well at night. I am somehow an insomniac. So I sleep late. And prefer sleeping during the day. I don't know why. I feel my sleep is more peaceful during the day. Even if my brothers, daughter and dad are around, watching the television or listening to music. It doesn't bother me. The only thing that bothers me, especially now, when I sleep during the day, is the excruciating heat. (^^,)

The job I am in now I used to work all crazy shifts. One week it would be 7-3:30pm and another week it would be 8:30-5pm and then some days I would work 1:30-10pm. It was hard coping working all these crazy hours because it messed up my sleeping pattern and also I couldn't keep up with daily life and chores at home. But recently another position came open with set hours and now I currently work 7-3:30pm mon-fri and work one saturday a month. I like this better and now my sleeping pattern is back on track and things our getting done at home and I have a social life again!

I can work in flexible hours. Both shifts have advantages and disadvantages. I guess that those with kids are the one that will be much affected with changes in schedules. It really depends on the lifestyle of a person. Since I am single and I live by myself, changes in work schedules do not affect me that much. It's only the heavy traffic that I hate, and it's one thing that I consider in choosing my shift.

Dear Mr pearl, I can't imagine that, but all I just want to say that just be patient, there is always the time for us to sad but there's a time for us to be glad.. Just be patient and just enjoy it, and talk to the Boss that if possible I still on my old time. Finally PRAY

Its going around right now my friend works in the call center during the day and they just changed her hours to grave yard shift but she has two small children....The bad part about her whole scenario is that the company that she works for is actually doing this on purpose....They are trying to force her to quit by giving her crappy hours...This is happing a lot here in California they are even forcing people to retire or suffer the loss......

I have worked all shifts in the hospital - sometimes more than one shift change a week - not easy to adjust. I was lucky I did not have children - those parents had a real rough time - the whole family was put into the picture. Hope all goes well for you.
