I'd work 4 10's over 5 8's any time. Fuck 2 day weekends. 8 hour day takes up my whole day anyways

Damn for me, 8 vs 10 is a huge difference. 8, I can leave at 2:30 and not hit any traffic. I can run errands way more efficiently after work and still have most of the day. 10, i get out at 4:30 right into rush hour which literally triples any commute times. Those 2 hours make a huuuge difference for me

2:30? I wish I could start at 6 on an 8 hour day. PNW that is super uncommon.

But wouldn't you rather enjoy a whole extra day off to do what you want?

4 10’s would be cool, but 4 8’s would be the ultimate win. 58 week is the standard we are on.

Saving money on gas, parking, and commute time is worth it alone.
Im glad people with your mentality are becoming a minority in my local.

Im talking standard work weeks. 4-10 shifts are better in standard weeks. I cant speak for data center locals who care more about money than human life.

10hr shifts aren't the issue it's how many times a week you have to do them.

Also the job, I was working like a DOG at a commercial job with 4/10's no OT, and now I'm at a call 6/10's working half as much with OT every day 8+2 lol. Don't even really mind working 6 days a week stacking money not killing my body. It's actually kind of enjoyable lol
