You prefer 8 hour shifts or 12 hour shift?

[Azami]

I was discussing with my mom about the different types of jobs in nursing. My mom jokingly said that she has some friends who work in telehealth nursing and say they have no life because they WFH but are doing call appointments 8 hours a day. Ofc, respect to telehealth nurses as well as all other nursing jobs but I don't think I would want to stay on a computer 8 hours a day everyday. Especially since I like to do 3 hour videogame sessions.

Also, I do know some people prefer 8 hours shifts but work on a computer rather than work 12 hours shift but do something physically tasking. I can understand this.

Luckly in my country in 2024 they are going to reduce the 40h/week work to 37,5/h week without salary loss

This should have happened DECADES AGO...

12 h in 1 day??!! That is literaly impossible... No human these days can stand such thing

Is literaly impossible to keep productivity if you work 12 h on each work day... It becomes a nightmare after the 6th hour knowing you still have to be 6 h more...

Also that those 12 h do not count the time going to your work place and going back home, making it even worse...

Even if 12 h/day meant working 4 days instead of 5, the sacrifice is not worthy specially that now some countries start to reduce the classic 40 h/week work to 37,5 h or less... :V

12h x 4 days=48 hours, several workers going to strike, especially in europe with this schedule

so 12h/day i see 3 days week or 36h week, example monday, wednesday and friday are work day

What kind of shift pattern are we talking about here?

For example 12 hours shift could be 4 days work 4 days off while you get paid like 40 hours?

When it come to 12 hours shift it kind of weird because not every play is same, you could be working weird amount of days, it can be 2/2, 4/4, 5/2. 3/3... can't think of anything else.


When it comes it 8 hours shift it only has one shift patters and it from Monday until Friday.


12 hours shift could be over all better than 8 hours because you get more days off for example you work 4 days and get 4 days off while on 8 hours shift you get only 2 days off while having more time for yourself after work

12x4=48 not 40... So you get 8 h unpaid? 🤨

You don't get paid for the full day you work some breaks are unpaid so it all depending how many breaks company pays and how many breaks you have so hours can be different, I was getting paid around 42.3 hours because no were no paid breaks


You only work around 10 hours and 30 minutes x hour pay = full amount for that day and the extra pay comes from breaks, you can get around 3 around 30 minutes breaks making the whole shift 12 hours

you're very silly the is such a thing as 3 days shift, you work 3 days and get 3 days off, you can work 2 days and 2 days off like my mother did, but if you work for agency they can force you to work 5 days a week but that only if you want to be treated like slave by agencies, if you work for the company it self, you would get 4 days off after working 4 days

The other wild card is that overtime or unreasonable hours tend to increase in income i.e. similar to holiday and weekend pay bonuses. But it doesn't apply to everyone/every workplace of course.

I remember loving working at nights as the pay was multiplied compared to standard working hours.

I wonder how things work in other countries for example in japan 6 days a week is normal..

I wonder if anyone knows that the is huge difference between working agency and being contracted.

For example agency worker is on zero hours contract meaning, they only work when they been booked while contracted person works without company having to book them to work meaning they required to work 40 hours a week while agency work accept whatever they want to work or not

Uhh, breaks nowadays ARE part of those 40h...

At least on Europe is alredy becoming the standart...

Also, the difference between 42 and 48 h is huge...

On Japan is complicated, becuase they do have laws that protect workers, they do have a 40h/week work schedule, they have holidays by law, is just they just want to overwork for no reason becuase their society still sees as something wrong working less or getting out of work before the rest

That just would not work...

12 h is too much and having one day work, one day not is just not something very appealing for most 🤷‍♀️

Is obvious that at some point 35 or 36h/week will become the new standart as younger generations are FINALLY realizing that 40h/week + the time requiered to go to your workplace is just too much but not as 36 h divided in 3 days... V:
