Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?
I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.
Having been chronically overworked for a while in my profession, the last thing I want is my life in the hands of somebody chronically overworked.
At least in my profession the mistakes I made because of being so tired did not kill anybody or handicapped somebody for life.
My thoughts exactly. Overworking is bad in general, but in life-or-death industries, it shouldn’t be happening.
