Purely anecdotal, but I work in 911 dispatch
And for a few days after the clocks change it always feels like we get a bunch of calls from/about people acting strangely.
My pet theory is that a lot of people with mental health issues are either really dependent on taking their meds at certain times, or just really need a steady routine to keep them stable, and in either case shifting things by an hour throws that all off.
And not for nothing, I work nights, and when I work the clock change, it’s nice when I get to work 1 hour less, but it absolutely does not make up for when I have to work an extra hour.
Yep.
Also not sure how they work it where you are, but as far as payroll goes we basically just pretend it doesn’t happen since the way our shift rotation works, if you work it in the spring you’ll work it again in the fall.
Fuck that, give me my hour of overtime for turning my 12 hour shift into a 13.
