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?

Productivity. It gives the company and increase productivity when you have fresh-ish workers vs burnt out ones in the “undesirable shifts” and have to pay them a fuck ton more to work those shifts to compensate those who have to constantly work those other shifts. But rotating shifts like this really screws up worker health and their circadian rhythm but hey, more profit for the company.
