I have a particularly strange schedule, and I bet some of you do too. Tell me about yours! I’m on a 28 day rotational shift (dupont modified). All shifts on are 12 hours with half being am-pm and half being pm-am. Of those 28 days, I work 14, the other 14 are off, 7 days in a row every rotation as well. I love it but the days can be long sometimes.


Default 9-5 with extreme crunch time during critical launch windows and key phases of up to a week of 18 hour days. 4-6 hours sleep, sometimes in a quiet client site room under a desk with tears in my eyes. If the launch crunch lasts more than 1 week, it goes up to 3 weeks 12-16 hour days. If it lasts more than that mutiple people critically fucked up, folks are getting fired and rollback plans, corrections new launch dates are made. Sometimes lawsuits but very rare.
Edit: time off en lieu for crunch time.
