It saves a company money. Instead of hiring three people to cover three shifts they only have to hire two people. Our group homes where I work went to that a few years ago to cut costs. I am against 12 hour shifts in the mental health field, because mistakes can happen due to workers becoming tired. Example is when one of our clients ended up stabbing one of our staff with a steak knife in the shoulder. It was the 11th hour of his shift and he left the dishwasher open that contained knives, which everything should of been put up. The client had voices that told him to go stab this one staff, so he grabbed the knife and stabbed the staff while he was walking into the kitchen. Even after this administration kept the 12 hour shifts due to the state cutting our budget.that is an odd schedule. ive had 12 hour shifts in the past but it was OT. i miss that
:no i am in China, but less than 7 hours.That's awful. What do they think this is China or something?
If you mind where do you work? I watched a documentary that this one factory in China they worked very long hours. But this was only one example so that doesn't make a widespread practice. I believed they made beads that they sell over here during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The workers lived right on site in dorms.:no i am in China, but less than 7 hours.
