I've worked a few different shifts such as:
- 7on/7off - rotating days and nights
- Compressed 4-week cycle - 4 nights, 3 off, 3 days, 1 off, 3 nights, 3 off, 4 days, 7 off
- 8 on/6 off - all day shift
- 4 on/3 off - all day shift
Every shift has pros and cons, but my favorite was the 7/7 shift. Pro - The ability to take a long holiday with 7 vacation days. Con - The downfall was the 7 consecutive years of working certain holidays, and the grueling 7 nights in a row.
Let us know what you've worked on and what your favorite shift is.
What would you change?
Are there any factors restricting a change to your shift?
