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?

I'm gonna go out on a branch and say because everyone has to do it, there is no shift differential paid for swing/nights.

Just because everyone has to do it doesn't mean there's no shift differential.

easier way is to just have less starting pay for later shifts but the shift differential makes it the same pay as day shift so only day shift gets any real benefits
