In the last 5 years there have been points where I worked 7 days a week for 2 months straight. 12 hour days? Lmao!! That is a short day. I typically go from 0500 to 1900 every day and hope I do not have to take work home to finish up.
5 hours sleep a night M-F then take it easy on the weekend and only work 8 hour days.
I have not had a week vacation since 2017. Any time I take off in the last few years has been limited to "long weekends" as in I work non stop for 3 weeks leading up. By the time I leave the long weekend of my vacation I have worked 60+ hours. Then I take my laptop on vacation. On business days, I check in with the office every afternoon to go over issues and I am on my laptop each morning checking and send out files.
It put a strain on my family big time, I had to undo financial damage done to me by the 6 year recession.
I am almost financially back to where I was in 2007. Almost. 1 more year and I will exceed my net worth in 2007.
IMHO the only way I would consider a job as an F1 mechanic would be if I was single and in my 20's to 30's.
Not sure what kind of pay these guys are pulling, that may sway my attitude towards thus article even more.
