    If Green Tractor Factory ever starts hiring again you’re welcome to come here, we don’t rotate shifts, we make 90k a year, we get free health insurance. Because we’re UAW. But we’re also about to lay off so it might be a minute.

    I’ve worked all three shifts. There’s guys been stuck on 2nd for 20 years, and 2nd shift is fucking WACK. From that perspective I kind of understand rotating shifts because everyone gets fucked the same. It’s more equitable. From every other perspective it’s shitty as fuck.

      Equitable treatment just means individuals can’t negotiate for what they need. If some shifts are less desirable they should just offer more pay until the shifts fill voluntarily, then individuals can decide their own tradeoffs for choosing different shifts.

        Exactly. The choice shouldn’t be between some of you are selectively fucked or you are all equally fucked. It should be are you properly compensating for the role or are you just fucking them over.
