What is your dark side/qualities and what do you "see" in others they are likely unconscious of?
I hate to have my time monopolized. I hate having things sprung on me where I have to make a decision between saying yes, and doing something I don’t want to do, or saying no, and feeling like shit for refusing somebody’s request.
I also hate people who are inconsiderate

36-hour shifts, 80-hour weeks: Workers are being burnt out by overtime
I work in a rolling mill and our normal 18 turn schedules have 90-100 open shifts. On top of that, there will be a Sunday with 60 jobs to fill. We have a 3 day rule, where you can’t get forced to work double shifts 3 days in a row, but there are guys who get forced over every day they’re eligible. 88 hour weeks are not uncommon.
