my current working situation is 7 days of 0600-1800 on average, i have orders that have to be on a van at 0600 and would take me aprox 2 hours to pick so i HAVE to get them ready in the evening
now on the 2 days that im off another bloke works for 2 days (or just one if he swaps with another) and can sometimes finish before me (but will a higher error rate by all accounts) my supervisors do meantion this time fact quite often
my only reply
if hes so fast, stick him in there for my days and ill go in on his days off
but they wont
why
cos he doesnt want to do it 7 days in a row
and the main reason he is faster for that one day is that the human body shouldnt be working in 3 degrees C for 12 hours with only 45 mins break a day for 7 days, if he did hed probably be just as fatigued as i am come my night off where i fall asleep with a DVD at 8pm and wake up gone noon on average
ok this has nothing to do with programming but what the mind and body can and cannot do after so many hours and every mistake in code could equate to 4 times the man hours fixing it
