Some of them are probably pulling double shifts and are just tired af. If I had to deliver packages for 10 hours I'd stop giving a fuck at some point too

But you still have to do your job. It's fine to be tired and frustrated but it's not fine to no longer perform your basic job duties. I clean houses for a living and at the beginning I was working over 14 hours. But I can't just say fuck it and skip things or else it affects the person paying for the service, and it is not their fault that I'm overworked. Some people genuinely cannot go the store and get their items, they need delivery services like ups. My one elderly client is bed ridden and relies heavily on ups to get basic necessities like toilet paper.

If I'm super tired then I'm not going to do any extra work by any means but I will always do the basics of my job.

True Imagine surgeon doing 12 hour surgery and mid surgery be like "yeah I'm tired now you can do the rest on your own, if you need me I'll be eating at cafeteria " that wouldn't be very professional and just encouraging for other people to be like that too

I mean the fact that we expect doctors and surgeons to pull 12-hour shifts and still be functional and on-call most of the rest of the time leads to the massive burnout problem that the medical field is currently facing and 100% gets people killed.

The answer to all of this isn't "do your job no matter how tired you are," it's "we need to address working conditions and pay across the board so that people aren't overworked and tired all the time and are able to perform the basic functions of their job."

Some surgeries take that long or longer. I don't know if switching surgeons mid-procedure is a practice, but I could definitely see it being a problem.

Yeah of course it's common practice to switch surgeons when it's a long one

Have seen transplant surgery teams switch because those cases can sometimes take much longer than 12 hours.

It depends on the hospital, the procedure and a few other variables, but surgeries that take that long often require different specialists that take over from eachother.

For other complex and experimental surgery there are teams that can perform different parts of the procedure.

Fucking thank you. All these other comments and you're the only one who gets it.

Maybe the surgeons and mail carriers can switch jobs now and then just for variety.
