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? Full job ad here: https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=2ac8cd23b6411f88

They want to keep production rolling continuously to avoid the lag of shutting down and starting the machinery back up again, but they also know how few people are around who’ll willingly work the graveyard shift so they’re basically trying to package it into the job no matter what so that they don’t have to negotiate for volunteers, because now it’s part of the job description contract you signed!
Have fun keeping machines running with enough workers, or when accidents happen because workers are too tired.
Correct. I walked off a job for missing mandatory overtime (12 hours, 7 days), for having dared had the flu, probably from lack of sleep and sun, with a doctor's note. Went straight to another factory, explained what happened (this was a Wednesday), was told to rest until Monday. Started on Monday five eight hour days, a hiring bonus that covered my lost wages, and immediately made more production. That factory only ran one shift, too. They knew the value of happy, healthy employees. Unfortunately, that happened in the late eighties. So sorry for factory worker abuse now.
