Even if you had just done a week of night shift ( because our department were robot technicians ) you were often expected to turn up sometime over the weekend to move robot cells or production machinery around and reprogram it. Added to that because the carpark was only big enough for about 2/3 of the employees and some spaces were reserved for 'staff' who came in at 8 or 9 in the morning, if you were on early shift which started at 5-30 you had to be there well before 5am every day of that week to get on the carpark, which meant getting up soon after 4 am. Lasted 5 years in that job before getting a 'day job' as engineering manager in a massive automated order picking warehouse, still stressful and sometimes did not get back home till after midnight after starting work at 7-30am ( plus an hours drive to get there) - ah bliss !!!!
Count you blessings...........
Added to that we lived in a cardboard box under a railway bridge.........
