This is a big part of why I'm getting out of my current job soon. Tired as hell of 60 hour weeks, being up all night, leaving work and having to be back in 8 hours, double shifts every holiday, double shifts every Saturday, being on call 24/7/365, missing everything, not having a life outside of work except sleeping and trying to recover in time for more work. Just over it.
My reward for all that was being told a few months ago that I'd be eating a 2/3s pay cut. Then they tried to "save" me with an offer for a more regular schedule, at lower pay with a lot more work and responsibility. Said thanks but no thanks. Coworkers are all angry that their reliable hard-worker buddy is going away. Sorry y'all, been killing myself at this job for almost five years and I have nothing to show for it but subpar offers of pay cuts. Good freakin' luck finding someone else who will take that deal.
