I been with my current job for a little over a year now (started March 2022) and at first we hardly ran any production. I’m talking about running for a total of 3 hours out of the 56 I worked my first week. Fast forward to the beginning of this year, we’ve been more productive than ever.
For whatever reason my job decided that instead of 2 12 hour shifts they wanted to get 3 8 hour shifts. So they started hiring more people trying to get enough for 3 shifts. Somewhere along the way that planned got strapped, and it left us over staffed.
Instead of moving some people to other departments or simply stop hiring people for our department, they decided too make four shifts total (4 on 4 off). They claimed to do this because we need to run 24/7, but in actuality it’s because we have way to many people.
It sucks because I recently was able to move into my own apartment, just to have my hours cut from 54 to 36 on some weeks. And the shift would be rotating so no set off days. Idk what I’m expecting from this I guess I’m jus venting because this really sucks. I really liked this job and I may be forced to start searching the market again smh.
