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.
Totally non scheduled, sadly.
In theory I work a flexible time schedule,realistically it’s more or less 0900 to 1800, but it’s very much depending on my clients. These are based worldwide, so if I am unlucky it can happen that (remote) meetings are at 2300 or later. I am on call half of the month, if major incidents happen I got to get up, but luckily these happen infrequently.
My staff works on a fully flexible schedule unless they are on call. The only fixed dates in their workweek is a jour-fixe on Wednesday and of course client meetings. Other than that I don’t care when they work as long as stuff gets done. (My staff is fully remote anyways) People have lives and qualified staff is hard to get - and why should I make people unhappy by insiting on some fixed times that have no operational benefit to me?
Occasionally I add in a ambulance shift, these are 12h+overtime and usally 7-19 or 19-7.
