Ideal work shift

[QuasarCav]

Hi Beyond,

What would your ideal work shift be? Let's say you had to schedule 8 hours a day for work, what shift would you choose and why?


I'm interested to see who would deviate from the usual 8-4 or 9-5 and what they would do with the extra time?

Personally I would rather have extra time in the morning. I've worked 7-3:30 in the past and while it is nice to miss traffic and come home early it sucks waking up in the morning.

530-2 monday to friday.. You get used to it.

Ideally anything other than what I currently have, lol.

If I had to pick a mon-fri. 8 hour shift (assuming unpaid lunch) , it would be 10am-6:30pm, or 11am-7:30pm

Sleep in every day, skip heavy traffic, and still enough time at night to enjoy the evening.

I love working 7-3.

Yes I like that schedule a lot too except my hours go until 9-11pm depending how busy it is so it sucks haha

So good. I would love that too. Mornings go by so quick. And leaves the rest of your day to whatever you want to do.

current hours are 8-5 with a 1 hour lunch, would rather have a 30 minute

hours i would like would be 6:30 - 3 or 7-3:30

I suppose its kinda off from the 8 hours a day but i worked a job where we did 4 - 10's. 7-5 Monday to thursday then 7-5 Tuesday to friday. That was fucking amazing. The four day weekend every other weekend was great in the summer.

4am - 1230

[Type_S1]

730-430 mon-thurs...take as long as lunch/breaks you want as long as you get your work done.

730-12 fridays

Best I have ever worked

6am - 6pm or 6pm to 6am. No traffic at all

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

7-3 for me.

[vtec4life]

7:30-5 with every other friday off.... I don't mind it but the afternoons can be a little long. 3 day weekend makes up for it though.

10-6 would be ideal

[Speed_69]

10-6 for me.

I currently do 8:30am - 4:30PM but I hate waking up early.

[adidas]

8-4

But the numbers in this thread really depend on when u gotta wake up for ur shift.

If you live in Evergreen and work at the airport for example than for ur 8am shift ur prob gonna have to wake up at 6.

7-3. Beat the traffic on the way to work and get off early enough in the day to enjoy the day.

[polarice]

My ideal was 7-5 Monday to Thursday. Ed doesn't seem to have the same rush hour problem as Calgary, so the timing is ok.
+/- an hour in either direction would be fine. Bottom line-- I would rather work 4 tens than 5 eights.

My job is way too cushy, it will be a sad day when I part ways.

12-8 wouldn't be bad, enough time during the day to get errands done or to sleep in after a night of drinking.

I wouldnt mind the 7am-3pm either.

At my work we have 3 shifts 9-5, 12-7 and 2-9, works out pretty good for the most part

Three 12 hour shifts, perfect as it means four days off a week. I am currently working 7-4:30 M-F, spend a minimum of 80 minutes a day in traffic... 1600 mins a month....27 hours! With snow, more like 140 minutes.... I hate the traffic more than my work to tell the truth. I would never work a night shift, never.
