Rotating shift schedules are usually worker/union requested so that everybody gets a fair shot at shift differential and weekends with family.

FuturePastNow posted:I'd been hearing lots of radio ads for a factory in my area, hiring machine operators. The pay and benefits they advertised weren't bad and my temp job was coming to an end, so I was thinking about it, when I happened to meet a guy who already worked there. My background is in manufacturing like this, I've recently been looking for work myself and most jobs seem to be going the way of the little kids in Snowpiercer that replace machine parts with their own bodies. The best offer I've received recently was a nice sounding salary. I figured out why during talking with them. Since salary workers don't qualify for overtime it was mandatory 72 hour weeks and I needed to be "open to a flexible schedule" meaning I might be required to work every day of the week without any days off or beyond my 12 hours a day depending on the daily production situation. I used to do that kind of poo poo and I don't see why some crippled arthritic workers see it as a point of pride. I worked in a fabrication plant and we went 2 months without a day off and the managers just got pissed off when people complained and lectured everyone on how some other plants in the network haven't had days off in six. they closed down the plant and moved to mexico a year later Yet whenever you try and complain about the working conditions some ancient grizzled gently caress reconstitutes themselves out of a pile of dust on the floor to tell you how you don't really know what hard work is and 84 hour work weeks are nothing. It's weird to see people develop stockholm syndrome to this kind of poo poo. VictorianQueerLit fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Jun 16, 2018 |

Yes, autopilot is way oversold and over-relied on, but this isn't a Tesla 3 not registering the sudden appearance of a *car* in front of it, this is a Tesla 3 driving into a big balloon with some cardboard wheels. Given the nature of that obstacle, piling into it is probably *safer* than full braking or swerving into an adjacent lane. A state of affairs where the car's software both registered the obstacle, registered that it was insubstantial, and concluded that hitting it was safer than risking either a sudden abrupt stop or a sudden abrupt maneuver into another lane is entirely compatible with everything presented in that video.  you dumb-rear end motherfucker.e: One part of the night-driving training at the driving school me and my sister both went to was you driving along a straight bit of road in the dark and then a dude would throw a sack of hack on the road. My sister plowed right through it and when the instructor got all pissy she just replied "it was a bag of hay why would I do anything to avoid it?". She's as dumb as you (and had to take the training a second time which cost a bit of money). 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Jun 16, 2018 |

evil_bunnY posted:12h shifts permanently is mosdef to cut benefits/training costs.  Shift schedule has nothing to do with staffing savings on the management side. They want N bodies on the floor 24/7 or 24/5 or 16/7, 16/5, etc and want to pay as much straight time as managable. The health indicator there is overtime rates where they will often lowball N while considering seasonal fluctuations and plan to make it up with mandatory overtime. Sometimes the "seasonal fluctuations" are the majority of the year while they purposefully understaff and what they lose out on overtime rates they make up as you say in benefits and training. Dr.Smasher posted:As a professional Union Thug, I can tell you that there isn't a goddamn way anyone would vote for that. Would it sweeten the deal if you knew there were strings of shift blocks where you could take 48 hours of PTO and get 2 calendar weeks away from work?

I actually saw someone drive off with the nozzle still in the gas hole the other day. Least they only went 5 feet, and the nozzle popped out and didn't break the hose. Actually stopped and put the nozzle back. Was a little bit proud that, sure they hosed up, but they stopped and fixed it.

Arrath posted:I wouldn't think so. You've got one or more trees cut to within a good breeze of falling over, even if you're on the "safe"(er) direction where it shouldn't fall towards, while your attention is focused on cutting the next tree. Also there's a good chance that the trees will end up on top of each other with LOTS of energy stored under their weight which will release like a spring when you start cutting them up.

Dr.Smasher posted:As a professional Union Thug, I can tell you that there isn't a goddamn way anyone would vote for that. Unions don't always let the line employees vote on stuff like that. One of my co-workers significant other is a union worker and at the beginning of this year the union agreed to allow the company to mandate 12 hour shifts doing 10-12 days straight then 2 or 3 off, repeating for probably the rest of the year (no end date given or mandated by the union). Every single employee hates it but they have no choice if they want to keep their jobs. The pay is great of course due to the huge amount of overtime, but it's killing the older guys (and gals presumably) and wrecking their quality of life. To add to the misery, the job itself (railroad work) is often 4-8+ hours from home and they have to drive to that location and live in the company paid (rat trap) hotel during the days they are working. The travel time is not paid and therefore comes out of the already far too small 'off' days on both ends. I'm not a Union guy, but it wouldn't shock me at all to find out that the union bosses who allowed this to be implemented were paid off by the company and happily stuffed their mattresses with money at the cost of the line workers health.

I don't have enough experience to say that this is a universal thing but it has def occurred to me while working my current job that older workers being unable to keep up with the work might be something that a beancounter might look at as a useful side effect of having that pace.
