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?

It's because there aren't enough unions in this godforsaken country.

French here, we got plenty unions and still a shit ton of jobs working the exact same way.

German here. Here rotating shifts in assembly, jobs is quite regular. We also have unions for the big industries that do rotating shifts.

Is it rotating weekly? If this is so common then what is the benefit of this? Like surely just keeping your employees constantly confused/off balance during their shift isn't good

I had a job that rotated, but it was quarterly, and it was so nobody got "stuck" on nights/days.

The Job description OP posted is weekly rotating shifts. Quarterly rotating g shifts is a good way to prevent getting stuck in one shift without destroying your employees.

Maybe the problem is who owns the companies
