    Any one work the dupont schedule? 12hrs sucks but only working 14 days a month and one week off every month is nice. Plus nights are not that bad no management around

    :woot:Yea I am on my 2nd set of night shifts. It is a great schedule. Just takes some time to get adjusted. If you do it right you can use 4 days of PTO and end up off for two weeks. I love it.

    The bosses expect too much out of us, we are human and require rest.

    Im work 630pm to 730am night shift. Been doing it since June 2nd. Have had three days off since.


    Usually at power plants they make you take every 14th day but our contract is the exception, as we do a round the clock oil flush.

    Of course it doesn't help either that I'm in Minnesota and I'm from California.

    God I miss the ocean.

    I should have clarified, no maintaince scheduled! We have 24-7 maintance coverage but we usually don't schedule work for nights or weekends unless shit is really bad
