Then they’d need to raise her wage too which they won’t do. She’s already well paid for her position. The more she works, the more she makes. If they raised her pay and lowered her hours so she’d get the same paycheques that would be great, but definitely wouldn’t happen. She also enjoys working. Saving people’s lives is a very fulfilling job.
12 hours aren’t bad. If I could choose 12 hours 3 days per week plus a 4 hour day instead of five 8 hour shifts I’d take that easily. Or four 10 hour days. When you’re already working 8 hours, an extra 2-4 hours isn’t bad. I used to work 12-15 hour days when they’d let me, but then they started refusing overtime so I can’t do that anymore.
Yeah, they always sell the 12 hour shifts with the tag line, “You’ll only be working 14/15 days a month!” It’s true, and I love my 5 days off in a row, but there is a huuuuge difference in an 8 hour day and a 12 hour day when you’re juggling the other necessities in your life, like kids, appointments, and emergencies.
