Should I change my work hours?

[Nessa 23]

I'm a morning person. Meaning, I always prefer to start working early in the morning so I can have late afternoons free ( Not this early, though). I'm more productive in the morning, not like I'll need to produce anything here .

If I change my schedule, I'll need to wake up at 330 at most, which sucks. If I keep, I'll be home at 2300, which sucks.

I put "quit" but if I were you I'd stay with the hours you've got and start looking really, really actively for a new job. Like one in Kansas City, for example.

either time I choose I'll have either the afternoons or the mornings free to look for a job

I voted the late schedule, because I don't think I could wake up at 3:30. I now wake up at 6:30 and haven't done that since elementary!

I would keep the job for a little while longer, if you can. Since this is your first job in the US, if you stay with the company for 2 years, it would look really good on your resume, and will be a strong reference when you decide to change jobs.

But then again, if you hate your current job, then that's another story, and you should leave

I had to put "none" as I'm kinda old to be dealing with either of those working hours...omg... But looking back to my younger days i would have probably gone with the late shift as I have always hated early mornings unless I'm catching a plane to go on holiday

Good Luck with the decision making Nessa!

Waking up at 3:30 a.m., yikes! Sometimes I don't go to bed until then! But I'm a major night owl. (For your poll, I put the later shift, but the third option sounds the best!)

it's not my first job. I started to work with them last May but different division. Then they abolished my position this month and I'm in the wait list for when the same position title/pay etc is available the job is automatically mine. For now, they had an opening working at the Fitness Center, just so I could stay in the payroll so I accepted. But they know I'm looking for something in my area and that I'm leaving as soon as I can find something. So yeah, quitting is an ok option at this point, they're expecting me to do that any time soon.

But Nessa, didn't you also hate your previous job? Why wait for it to come up again?

Choose the opposite of what Charles recommends...................LOL

[SMOKE 1,426]

which option gives you more time w/ charles? or is that what you're trying to avoid?

I'm not waiting for the same job to come up, my job was abolished, so I won't be having my job back. I'm looking for a job in other places, and on NAF's list if a similar job comes up. The main reason I hated my job was because they didn't give me anything to do, I hate being bored. If a similar job title shows up and similar pay rate, I'll take, nothing says it's gonna be the same work (or lack of it), maybe this time I'll actually have work to do, you know what I mean?

the morning option, that's another reason I'm considering the morning schedule.

I picked the second choice.Since I'm a night hawk,I really can't imagine anyone waking up at 3am.Sometimes I'm just getting to sleep at that time.

[Nessa 23]

notice the morning schedule is Mondays - Fridays while the Second schedule is Sundays - Thursdays.
