I don't think this is intentionally evil, it's simply most people don't want to work the night shift, and they don't want to pay extra for people to want to work the night shift, so they distribute the night shift load on a schedule. So everyone has a crappy night shift every couple weeks but no one person constantly has the night shift.

I'm sure if you volunteered, they give you the night shift every day if you want

I think a lot of places in the world would call this intentionally evil. Literally forcing everyone to take part of the night shift or starve. That likely only works because people in that area have no choice. It's intentionally evil.

Not in my case. In the part of the interview where they got to the rotating schedule I asked if I could just do graveyard and they refused. Said they wanted to have management work with all employees or some bullshit. I think they were using it to get around overtime though.

And its still evil to push the rotating schedule bullshit on your employees to get out of premium pay.

Sounds pretty evil to me.

and they don’t want to pay extra for people to want to work the night shift

You realize these are contradictory statements, right? If they don't want to pay more, that is evil!

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure it's a universal law that not paying extra money makes somebody evil.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

You don't think there's a problem with equal pay for unequal work?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah this isn't just blue collar jobs.

I have an acquaintance that is an ICU doc who makes huge cash. They choose an every other week rotation days/nights for the premium night pay.

They also say their colleagues don't want to work nights all the time so their group prefers this lifestyle.
