I have been looking for manufacturing, assembly, production positions all over the Midwest. It's absolutely shocking how many of them want you to work rotating shifts.
Look at the image I submitted. That company wants you to work 3rd shift one week, then 2nd shift the next, then 1st shift the next, and then repeat it over and over. How in the hell is that healthy?
And this requirement for rotating shifts is prevalent in so many job ads now. WTF is going on with the world?
Full job ad here:
no, it's that they don't give a shit about those and have found a way to make more money, so they believe, no doubt on a paucity of evidence and a big kick of power madness.
How would a rotating schedule make them more money?
This seems more like pure evil to me
I'm gonna go out on a branch and say because everyone has to do it, there is no shift differential paid for swing/nights.
Just because everyone has to do it doesn't mean there's no shift differential.
easier way is to just have less starting pay for later shifts but the shift differential makes it the same pay as day shift so only day shift gets any real benefits
Now your thinking like a manager...promotion incoming
Some departments at my plant have 12-hr shifts, two teams consistently days and two teams consistently nights. Two days on, two days off, two on, two off, three on, three off, repeat. Long days, but also lots of days off.
Other departments work 8-hr shifts, one team days, one team afternoon/ evening, one team nights, and one team to cover every other team's days off. Rotating shift is two or three days one set of hours, 24 hours off then two or three days the next set of hours. All new people in these departments start on rotating shift.
Management has resisted spreading the 12-hour schedule to more departments, even though more workers prefer it, because it costs more in overtime pay.
