Like I said, it’s almost like you’re never there.

Funny anecdote: The union I’m forced to be a member of (closed shop jurisdiction) didn’t like our schedule, and tried to force us to go to an 8 hour reverse rotation (days, nights, afternoons). We flat out refused, so they tried to force a 4 on-4 off rotation that had us work 2 days 2 nights every block of shifts. We gave that a fair trial (2 months) but it was killing us as you never got any real rest, and then we told the union where to get off, even trying for decertification. THAT got their attention, and they “allowed” us to return to our preferred schedule.

Twits.

Early on I worked at a Jewish institution in a black part of town. We worked three 12’s, 6 off, three 12’s.
We also had all the federal holiays, the Christian holidays, the Jewish holidays and Martin Luther King day off, well before any one else did, without using any vacation. They had to do that to get anyone to work there as it was located in a nameless pit. I lasted two years.
