Gas station near me used to be 24/7 and after the pandemic switched to 5am-11pm, which is totally fine. This week there was a sign on the doors saying the new hours were now 8am-8pm, which is crazy since it’s located on a busy highway leading into town and is the only gas station in that part. I know they have been having problems hiring and retaining staff, so much so that employees have asked me if I want to work there, but those hours seem pretty ridiculous. Only alternative is literally driving across town, which turns a 5 minute round trip into 20+ for anyone on the west side.

Which means you're sleeping at work. And then you sleep all day too. So lazy! Brain not compute otherwise.

the whole thing is that you're supposed to incentivize people who can actually work that shift to work that shift, across the board. No 24 hour Mickey D's? Fine, I'll go eat some eggs at home when im done and deal with it. No loving gas pumps until 7:30AM and I have to drive across town? I don't like where the needle is at and didn't wake up 2 hours early for work, so I guess I'm sitting here for an hour. i guess i earned that extra money you hate me for making for no reason when i went to work while you were asleep! nah just stop having night shifts except for making all the stuff that is critical to society MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Jul 13, 2024 |

We never heard another word about it.

Dip Viscous posted:Samsung does phones so badly that I'd almost say it's a uniquely Samsung problem. Tons of bloatware, installing poo poo without asking, everything in the interface moved around and/or renamed for no reason. My first phone was a Galaxy and it sucked rear end and I stopped using at after a couple of months, every phone since then has pretty much been regular Android OS. My current Motorola has some weird motion gesture control poo poo but it's one button to turn it off during initial setup and never think about it again. It's not just phones that Samsung suck at, they have so many models of every single line of tech that they release every year that their software and firmware suffers too. If you've also ever tried to use their website to access firmware for something it used to send you in circles, you'd never actually be able to access the page with the firmware downloads. Customer service will also take at least 3 days to get back to you and just send you a link to the page which will then send you in circles again. They seem really against just mailing you the file. I unfortunately have to work with Samsung stuff at the moment at my job but my experiences with their kit and subsequent nightmare trying to get updates for them means they're no longer on my buy list. My integrators also never recommend them for similar reasons. I recently had trouble with a Samsung LED wall which one section had died in. We have replacements individual LED panels plus the hardware that powers them, it was this hardware that had died (it's no wonder they supplied half a dozen spares). Anyway I replaced that and the screen worked again but I had to get the software from Samsung and a calibration tool to match the brightness/colours etc. They sent me a broken tool. Samsung are the worst.

Are you sure it's not "won't pay a proper amount for the job to be worth doing because it cuts into my yearly bonus as the owner/operator" though?

No I agree, that's probably the main reason they can't find enough people. Wages haven't kept up with our new era of inflation. I think there are a few other things in the mix but that's likely the big one. I mean, wages weren't keeping up with the cost of living before either but recently we seem to have passed a tipping point. wash bucket fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Jul 13, 2024 |

MrQwerty posted:lmao why do you hate people who work on night shifts It’s like you’re angry at me because there are no places open at night? I’m not sure what I did to cause that but I’m sorry it happened to you. I’m just pointing out that a) it’s capitalism’s fault and b) there are strategies to adopt which will leave you nourished at work even despite these difficulties E: so the thing that got shittier is the pay offered to service workers on off-hours?

I will naturally drift towards sleeping between 5am to 11am if left without any structure. I always feel my most naturally alert from 4pm onwards. I can mold and warp the sleep pattern, but if left alone this is what my body wants to do. Nah, I'm 'lazy' because I'm not up on the dot at 6am and in bed by 9pm.

Croccers posted:I loving hate the attitudes.   I just poked around on maps, checking out all the diners I used to get my late dinners/post midnight hangout at while freelancing. They’re all closed. All of ‘em. Not just “not open overnight,” gone. So that’s lovely not just for me, but for everyone who worked there. Even the Del Taco near me is gone. When did that happen? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one close before. That’s like closing a McDonald’s. Guess “no one wanted to work.”

Isn’t this simply what a recession is? That there is less demand for services and goods, so jobs vanish as a consequence? I mean clearly people ITT are demanding night time food services, but also clearly not enough others are demanding them since they are no longer being offered.

A lot of the closures are from 2020 too, I think. So many of my favorite little places, food and otherwise, didn’t survive that year. Even if there’s a well defined economic reason for it, seeing all those empty shopfronts still makes me a bit sad. LA’s a big place but it feels smaller now, somehow.

The hospital I work at hasn't updated the shift differentials since the 90s (supposedly). We have 1 shift that gets 50 cents an hour, so $4 a shift. I don't think it's a new enshittification, but more a lack of labor pushback.

Nearly every fast food place I see has huge "WE'RE HIRING" signs which I assume are for day shifts because they're not open past 10 PM anymore, and few people want to clean fryers AND stay up late if they don't have to. I'm still able to get slop delivered through doordash from 'ghost kitchens', which I imagine eats into the late-night drivethru business

Grocery stores just stock poo poo during the day now, blocking aisles, in addition to the workers picking up items for Express Pick Up with the extra large carts. They don’t even pretend to give a poo poo about the customers anymore.

The isles can be so full of boxes and carts that you're running a gauntlet and impossible to even get a trolley through. What's the point of keeping the store open if it's impossible to do an actual shop ffs?

All it did was put your name into a pile at head office that you could get pulled out from at a random timeframe to work for random store area (sorted into Northern/Southern/West/East locations).

A convenience store near me has had "now hiring all shifts" on their big LED sign for years and the people that work there have told me that the applications just go in the garbage because there's no intention of filling the vacant positions. One employee that doesn't get a break for their whole 16 hour shift is more profitable than having three employees like there used to be. And then they get reprimanded for not sweeping the parking lot enough, which they couldn't do because they were, you know, at the cash register all day because it's a store.

I've spent about 9 years of my life working 7-3, 8-4, 10-6, those kinds of hours, overnight. Nothing pisses me off more than people who've never had to do that telling me how awful and wrong it is that people have to do that, and how no one should have to. I know it sucks, I've lived it, I don't need to hear your unearned sanctimony.

People being completely unable to understand that there's more than one circadian rhythm is the only thing I dislike about night shift. Even when I was a kid it was typical for me to go to bed when I got home from school and wake up around 10 PM so I'm pretty dang sure I'm not a day person.
