5 hr in hot outdoor

last SG · 2010-04-26T20:07:53+00:00

it is your choice of the job. To me standing in the Sun for 5 hrs is ok, Because I do suntan very often and I usually go in the noon. You need to dehydrate y...

Just curious if any body try stand in the hot outdoor where the shade doesn't work and for 5 hr in consecutive 2 day. Occassionally you have to chase little kids to stop them from climb up a dangerous slope when all the company need to to put things to block them.

And you are not allow to drink water when on duty and you only get a 15 min break during the 5 hr provided your superior remember to send ppl to replace you for break.

Other then the 5hr outdoor hr, you spend the rest of your 8.5 shift in a carpark where the air is bad and you have to use your body to stop bus from going the wrong lane -.-

Working 8.5hr + 1 hr meal time and only get max 2 15min water break. Its like going NS -.- (PS I am a woman)

TTFU SG

So your boss likes to play SM ?

ditzy SG

I would prefer doing the above for the rest of my life, than 2.5 years of NS, and another 10 years of reservist cycle, in combat vocation.

Try having your shift anyhow change and with shift from 12am to 9:30am that cut into your off days and blocking bus without PPE and have to smile at ppl all the time XD

TTFU SG

To likeyou: I already tender with medical reason already but boss ask me consider changing dept. But now the leads like trying to make my last days miserable lo.

Cause yesterday i am suppose to be in aircon for 4.5 hr then go out stand 4 hr one but they suddenly put forward my lunch break and make me stand 30 min in carpark and 5 hr in sun lo.

Furthermore yesterday one sign board collapse once, i had to use my hand to hold it in place until my lead come cos only them have walkies but i wait 2 hr no lead come to patrol and i cannot leave my position. My friend who was knocking off saw me sweating with red face and hurry tell them but they still take around 30min then come. Lucky got a manager from other dept walk by and help me get something to block it. If not i would had faint liao -.-

mikiseiya SG

To TTFU: cannot tell but i think one of my teammate going to complain to union liao, i just hope i my next few days will be better

To ditzy: I only get my this week Roster yesterday. Straight today i have off, then tml midnight work till wed 9:30am then thursady till sun work 8am to 5:30pm. BTW i have Japanese lesson every thursday at 7pm so i already request thurs off before hand. So this thur what will happen is I knock of at 5:30pm (provide the person taking over come on time), tag card, change back to normal cloth, take staff bus out to mainland (hopefully can reach busstop by 6) then take public transport against the peak hour, which mean i have no time for dinner =.=

maskedangel SG

Can’t tell then come here for sympathy? Mostly people come forum to shoot shoot bang bang about their company Mad

Job scope do wad siaaaa

TTFU SG

Working like a headless fly really is tough. Talk to your boss first about your job scope, if nothing improves, terminate the boss.

mikiseiya SG

to maskedangel: can't tell because i don want ppl to go shoot the company la. Any way already got some of our guests commanded in newspaper and some forums that the company had been overworking us liao ( you go guess which one lo).

Anyway my jobscope is to give ppl direction around the place aka a walking information center.
