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 ;)
Yeah, you get two shift worth of people, covering 3 (or more) shift worth of time.
