Punctuality!

[ailbhe]

Because Rob did an eight-hour day followed by a six-hour night yesterday, he is under more pressure than usual to be at work for 8:30 today for his standard eight-hour day.

Why am I the only one who seems to think that this is madness?

I so agree with you, Ailbhe! What are his employers trying to do, kill him? Haven't they heard of 'work / life balance'?

I read your journal regularly and you seem to manage your life and your child rearing so well that I am always filled with admiration! But it sounds to me as if this problem with Rob's work threatens to spoil things. It's potentially damaging to the health of the whole family.

Is he not able to talk to them about it, and if not, would you be able to? They really should be made to see how unreasonable they are being. How much do they value him, if they aren't paying appropriately enormous sums of money for what he does for them? What would they do if refused, or threatened to leave and work for someone who paid him appropriately and treated him better? Are any of these options?

I hope you don't think I'm interfering, but for me the answer is no, you're definitely not the only one who thinks it's madness! I do hope you are able to sort it out.

Best wishes;
Elaine
