the shift pattern. They do a 7 week rolling rota. I can’t remember it completely, but it was something like:- 3 days, 2 off, 4 nights, 3 off 2 days, 2 off, 5 nights, 4 off, 3 days, 3 off, 3 nightsGenerally referred to as the “marriage wrecker” I believe
Should be able to spot one of the lads on that shift pattern, eyes like the proverbial ■■■■ holes in the snow.
I spent 10 years or so working a rotating 4-week cycle:
7 nights then 2 off,
2 lates, 3 earlies, 2 lates, 2 off,
3 lates, 4 earlies, 3 off
Rinse and repeat. Fortunately 8 hour shifts though, although during the football season we’d have the delight of doing 5 nights Mon-Fri (finishing 6am Sat), off for six hours then back in at noon for football duty, finish about 5pm then back in for a night shift 5 hours later. Needless to say most blokes were totally shattered by 6 o’clock Monday morning and little wonder so many of my ex-colleagues don’t get to State Pension age.
It was something of a Hallelujah moment when the bosses agreed to let us do a 4-on, 4-off 12 hour shift pattern (withdrawn a couple of years later as it didn’t give management the flexibility they required).
