Life sucks 24x7

Posted by Karthi at February 5, 2011
Tags: 2011 February  Job

24x7 - the word the interviewer said in my first successful job interview. It became my nightmare ever after. Despite being a good student back in college I agreed to this job (not knowing how it feels to work 24x7 shifts) and stopped looking for offers after that. I had signed an agreement committing myself to the company for 2 years. Shortly after joining the firm I understood what it means to work days and nights - work for the entire night first week, wake up early and go to work the next week and work in the evening till late night the next. This cycle repeats itself plus some work during weekends, less pay, less growth and so on.. Couldn't quit due to this bond.

Now it's been two years. The bond is over, but I couldn't find a different job because of experience in this field. Or start over and grow with the freshers (can't: humiliating). Higher studies?? very expensive + gotta support family.
Start a business?? No capital, hard to balance between work and venture. How am I going to spend the rest of my life working 24x7??

Life sucks. Big time.

just leave. there is no job worth more than your psychological health, and normal people understand that (i.e. your next employer). You can always quit a job, even if you are committed to it, for a good reason. And your good reason is that they are treating you like a slave. Slavery is illegal even if somebody was dumb enough to agree to be a slave. just leave. you are letting them treat you like shit. So you don't want to be a 'failure' or start over because that's 'humiliating'. Well that's the whip they'll use to keep you in your place for the rest of your life. Grow a pair and leave.
