The worst place for hours that I ever worked had people go 3 days on, 2 days off, 2 days on, 2 days off, 3 days on, 3 days off and then you would repeat. We would work from 7am to 7pm or 7pm to 7am, and every time you went back to work from a few days off you would switch the time you worked so it was like having a 12 hour swing shift every 2.5 days. It wore people down a lot, and you had to keep your schedule posted just so you could remember when you were supposed to work. We worked those days no matter what, no holidays or anything off, ever. If it was your time to work on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Christmas Eve, Easter, Labor Day or the 4th of July or any other holiday, too bad you worked anyhow. It was hard to plan for anything months in advance. Because they had a group of lazy people that they didn't want to get rid of some of us even got called in on our days off all the time when they were “sick” or just didn’t feel like coming in, especially me because they knew I would do a good job. So my reward for doing my job was more work.
