    Exactly. It’s the hours that suck, depending on shift. Do you forever want to live life in 3rd shift? If you have kids, you’ll rarely see them… You’ll be asleep when they’re awake and at work when they are.

    It’s just not ideal for most people.

      Just to be clear, the hours suck because there’s a labor shortage, causing us to be short staffed, causing us to put in extra hours to make shipments in time. This is a relatively recent thing. It’s also the number one priority of the plant right now to reduce overtime. The plant is supposed to run for 8 hour shifts 5 days a week.

      Also, there are plenty of people who prefer 3rd shift. It has higher pay. You’re asleep while spouses and kids are at work/school. you’re awake when they’re home and working while they sleep.
