WTF is going on with the world? Why are there so many manufacturing jobs that require rotating schedules? Are they just trying to destroy your soul and your health? - sh.itjust.works

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?

They probably want to maximise the uptime of the machinery
That doesn’t justify the rotation. Just hire specific people for each shift.

They’re trying to “make it fair” so everyone has to share the bad shifts.

Also they’re trying to prevent burnout maybe.

Mostly it’s about saving money cuz they don’t have to pay shift premiums for 2nd and 3rd shift.

Also they’re trying to prevent burnout maybe.

I dunno about everyone else, but a rotating shift like that would destroy me. A locked in schedule, even overnight, would be infinitely better for preventing burnout for me.
