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?

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?

Jeez. Rotations like that exist in “Western Countries” since what, 50 years? 60? That’s not new and the “surprise” here shows that you, dear poster, must be new to the game.

Anyhow, where i live and work (somewhere in Germany) you get paid extra for night and extra extra if shift is during the night on a week end.

Is that shit nice? Ok, no. Does it pay? Fuck, yes. All of my colleagues doing this since 20ish years whine and bitch BUT have a house, two cars, fly to vacations to turkey and shit.

Your learning?

Accept, that this shit exists and will always exist. 2, Unionize. Have companies pay you fairly for what you do.

Stop whining. As long as you whine, you are a victim. Victims dont act or unionize or take things into their hands. Victims cry, roll on their tears and get fucked. THATS what companies like, cause you’re easy to deal with.

That’s 100% the way you interpreted it. I am not new to the game. My post is about prevalence and not about newness. I specifically remember job hunting in the 90s (yes, I am that old and not new to the game as you incorrectly assumed) and in the 90s there were not so many factories working rotating shifts like there are now.

Go look for manufacturing jobs on Indeed. This trend is new. I never suggested that a rotating shift idea was new - that’s just how you interpreted it.
