All day as in an 8 hour shift. To end up working a six day week for 50 quid seems a lot to ask.

£50 for the whole week?? Borrocks!!!

No, 50 quid extra for a Sunday.

Lucky you can be so picky. Some others would be glad of that.

Trust me SP, in some jobs 'all day' is a lot more than 8 hours! I used to work a normal shift of 8 hours, but if I was working all day I would be there from 8am - 10pm! My brother is the same, when he works all night he goes in at 8pm and leaves at 8am.

It really depends on if you need the money. It could be £50 towards a deposit on your own place?! x

So would I but I don't want to risk overloading myself with hours.

That is a good point. If you think that it is going to be detrimental to your health, then I would agree that it is not worth it. However, I would add the caveat that no amount of money is worth sacrificing your health for x

£50 x 50 weeks = £2500

Wish I had the choice I work a six day week, no double time, no time and a half ...and I DO have to put my health second, as I attend night classes too!

Now ... HAAAANG ON A SECOND.

Good advice. But, studentphil is a dodger-of-work.
He's young.

There is no excuse and many people at his age have held down 2-3 jobs working over 80 hours a week just to save for things or get ahead generally.

It really WON'T hurt him to do the extra hours to be honest. In fact, it would be beneficial health-wise as it would help him grow a backbone.

I don't think any of us know enough about SP to state that. If SP has genuine health reasons for not wishing to do the extra hours (and being young is not a bar to having a health condition) then his consideration of a work/ life balance should be applauded, not derided.

I don't think SP is a 'dodger of work' anymore. In the past few months he has made positive efforts to get on in the workplace, and comments like the above are not constructive.
