![Why America has 8.4 million unemployed when there are 10 million job openings [828x1121 - 163KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/xRhAgG.jpg){kind=link}
I noticed the same thing, the people were all dead inside and outside from being worked to death.
One of my current coworkers used to do that kind of stuff. He's mid-40s now, I asked if he'd go back - even for the good money. "Hell no, I couldn't do that now" was the answer.
Still to this day I don’t get why a employer would have a flip shift other then to inflict pain onto its employees. The place runs 24/7 just have 3 shifts and stick to it. I’m sure thier excuse is that how it’s always been here. Glad the job market has changed since then.
The places I remember from my father's time ran 3 shifts, and some of the larger ones had a swing that ran 3 shifts as well, but was offset 4 hours so you'd always have coverage.
I think it boiled down to employers realizing they could cut back on shifts and have less people by overworking the people they had.
Ok so I get it now. Technically the have 2 hellish shifts. That means less employees to deal with. Great business move. Now if they could only whip the employees awake like in the good old days ;)
