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:
Fuck if I know the answer to this, but someone I know well and respect works one of these shifts, and I don’t get it.
4 on 3 off and swap the next week, I get.
But it’s like these were designed to fuck up the workers’ health and lives. Oh, wait, they probably were.
Then they’re dependent on the employer-provided health care and less able to leave!
