That must be abused to the high heavens! Fake work that never happens, bank transfer one way, cash back the other.

The tax credit system in France is rotten with fraud.

I actually work max 6 hours, plus driving 2to3 hours  plus 1 hour loading unloading ! Some days I manage to spend all energy in 3 to 4 hours working very fast usually hedge cutting 😞  rarely  I work very long hours like 9 or 10 but it’s usually grass cutting strumming rubbish collection spraying weeds and so on (maintenance )!

I put 7 because that is what I'm doing currently. Long may it last.

With the Telecoms thing, when I worked in London on a 4 on 4 off. They were 12 hour shifts but my day also included 1.5 hours each way travel. For months it really was sleep work sleep work...then rest. Repeat.

Even 5on 2 off with 8 hr shifts you added another 3hrs travel. 

 

Glad I'm out of it.

 

Just got to keep going till I can retire. then it'll be 3 hour days of hardcore pottering. :-)

Paid travel?

If you mean me. No, when on the rail (the company I worked for was a contractor) I paid my own travel to and from work. Bit Sh1t but I signed up knowing it.

Unlucky, I had a rail warrant from SWT when I subbed to them but the schedules were so inconvenient I only used it for a few trips to London and one to Exeter and carried on with a van the rest of the time. I never even used it for a jolly.

No such luck.

Couldn't even drive my little VW to work in the end on nights. Despite being £30 tax it was a frugal (70-85mpg) little diesel and fell foul of Sultan Khan's ULEZ rules. Final nail for me. 

Onwards and upwards. 
Now drive the company diesel on their time into town. All works out in the end. :-)
