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:
From personal experience, when that happens everybody fights over the shitty shifts.
When my old company got bought out and they started making some people work Thanksgiving, people fought over the Thanksgiving shift because it paid 2.5x.
Reality is people always bitch no matter how shifts are broken up. These crappy rotations end up being the most “fair” system, so that’s what corporate adopts even though everyone hates it.
What’s the problem with paying more that the shitty shift becomes desirable enough for people to fight over? Seems a lot better than making it suck and forcing everybody to suffer
