Turned my weakness into my strength
I love to spend my nights awake. And this habit affected my last work in a bad way. I didn’t want to sleep at nights until sunrise, and for this, a lot of times I was late to work. Even if I wasn’t, I didn’t have my best performance when I showed up. As you can imagine, I got fired in the end. It would be fair to say that it wasn’t very professional of me to do this. But anyway, what happened, happened. Can’t change it. But I thought maybe I could change the future and adapt my work to this habit of mine. So I decided to apply for an overnight shift at Walmart. It’s been one of the best decisions of my life. Luckily I have the best coworkers ever, and my manager is really cool too. We have a great time every night. It’s really a blessing how things turned out for me.
If you have a nice crew, it’s the best job in Walmart. If you don’t, it can quickly become he^l. I wasn’t a fan of spending all night alone working my a^s off without communicating to any living creature. So I left.
I’m exactly like you and that’s why I applied and got the job a month ago. It’s been shaky for 2 weeks but it’s getting better. It was hard at first because I didn’t know anybody but now, me and my teammates kinda got used to each other. Seeing this post made me hopeful for the future, so thank you 🙂

Oh boy, it’s the complete opposite for me. I’m planning to change my department because my sleep schedule is in shambles. Happy for you tho.
