Automation Technician
In our line of work, we often face long hours and physically demanding tasks. My wife recently gave birth to a baby boy and I realize I want to focus on spending time with my family too. How can I change roles that offer a better work-life balance without sacrificing pay? Currently I'm working shift, is there normal working hours for technician?

Honestly, shifts can be rough, and having a steady routine would make things easier.

Maybe speak to your employer and see if they can accommodate your request. It's all about finding that sweet spot where you can still provide for your family but also enjoy those precious moments

Congrats on the new addition! Balancing work and family, especially with shifts, can be a real challenge. I think you could start by looking into internal roles with more stable hours, some companies do offer 9-5 positions for technicians.
