We have a mix of 4-10s and 5-8s at our facility. Not gonna lie, it blows.
The 8s work night night day mid mid RDO RDO
The 10s are night night RDO day day RDO RDO
We prioritized weekend RDOs as usual but are barebones every weekend. Someone will typically sick out since it’s the only leave type available then.
All the 10s love their schedules because they never work mids, have no quick turns, get 3 days off, and only really work 1hr extra per day with how the rotations go.
All the 8s are miserable and hate life. Backbone of the facility schedule building, every day is a quick turn, have next to zero spot leave potential, and are the only ones who can truly fill in for mid-shift leave/sick hits. Often times pulling 3 or more mids a week plus possible overtime on weekends.
Granted there has to be a better way than how it’s run here, and I’m actively working on new schedule ideas since there is finally enough facility angst/issues to out-vote seniority.
