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?

The second bullet point is called the DuPont Schedule and has been around for decades

They probably want to maximise the uptime of the machinery

At this point I"m sure the media only associates religion with crazy people because they want people to stop believing in souls altogether.

[-] OftenWrong@startrek.website 0 points 6 months ago

Nah, pretty sure it's because so many religious people are just kinda crazy

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 6 months ago

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 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.
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.

Unionize. Have companies pay you fairly for what you do.

The Indeed reviews for this specific company and location state that they already have a union. One review states:

"Union is garbage unless the top guys like you."

So, their union is not doing anything to prevent the insane rotating shift schedule.
