Business Outlook

Pros

At this point, the swing shift schedule fits my needs, even if it does wreak havoc on sleep quality. Also, after five years, I have a fair amount of vacation.

Cons

Management and HR lack empathy for shift workers. There are a few shining exceptions, but they unfortunately lack the authority to make changes on a scale that we need, at this time. In addition, misguided penny pinching is very often the source of very expensive retrofits.
