On a scale of 1 to 10

With 1 being you avoid work at all costs and are bone idle

and

10 you're exhausted at the end of the day/week

what do you score yourself

It was always a solid 10 but current disillusionment with my career is having a negative effect. No one outside looking in would be able to tell, though.

Camberley occasionally doncaster

Off the scale. 68 days of 14 hr shifts (minimum) no breaks. Longest time off work was 18 hours but that was swapping from days to nights. Shortest time was 5 hours swapping from nights to days.

Mentally, physically and emotionally draining. Another 10 days to go..

A solid 8. I swore blind I'd never work myself ill again.

People think my job is easy, it can be mentally exhausting when you're losing the will to live due to peeps being led to believe "the customer is always right"

Physically tiring too, I regularly surpass the 20,000 steps mark when at work.

95% of the time 9/10 im there to work its what im paid for, often working 6/7 days a week when required.

5% of the time as little as i can get away with, but its rare - usually only if im not feeling well.

I cant stand being stood there doing nothing if there are no customers so i find something that needs doing usually cleaning. Irtitates me that everyone else is happy to stand around doing nothing unless asked to do something

I don’t know how you do it. It’s bad enough dealing with self entitled morons over the phone from the comfort of my office - in person, with a smile on your face and knifes and forks in your hand must be such a test of patience!

7 at the moment. With the heat and the drying weather i'm struggling to keep on top of everything.

Despite this i refuse to give myself a 10. There are alot more people out there working a damned sight harder in far more important professions.

It's really fucking hard at times, unrealistic customer expectations and a lack of common sense from people who have no clue or care.

I'll never ever forget having a knife to my throat from the table who found pubes in their sweetcorn (they'd put them there themselves as a ruse to get out of paying their £90 bill) when I challenged them about their plan and said I was calling the police.

When I read your post I thought my work is nowhere near that stressful, and I am lucky as I actually enjoy the work.

I cannot imagine how hard your work must be - and as it is your parent, that makes it even harder I would think?

It’s really hard

And seeing them deteriorate in front of you is even harder

Don’t get me wrong I love my mum to death and it is rewarding but at the same time it’s frustrating

I would say I’m more mentally drained at the end of the day rather than physically drained

My work is feast or famine. I never miss deadlines and my inherent laziness means I do everything possible to get it right first time. I will work through the evening to meet deadlines or to carve out a free day. I'm a 7 after decades of 10.

On that scale I am both a 1 and a 10.

I.e. I do the absolute bare minimum I can get away with(if that) yet I am exhausted waaaay before the end of the week.

It's fortunate that they pay me so well otherwise Id walk out.
