Nurse starts shift early so colleague can start long drive home sooner.

View of a road running through the Scottish mountains with lakes in the valley to the left. Text overlaid reads “nurse starts shift early so colleague can start long drive home sooner.”

“In my work group chat someone said there was an accident on a main road a lot of colleagues use.

I knew someone who was working today, a 13.5 hour shift and the same yesterday, took that road. It takes them 45 mins to get home normally, with the accident it’ll be at least 1 hour & a half.

I went in to work 45 mins early to let them go early so they don’t get home too much later than they would have usually.”

What a kind and thoughtful thing to do – we’re sure that colleague really appreciated you thinking of them like that.
