5 hour shifts are better than 6 hour shifts, amirite?
by Anonymous1 week ago
Last time I worked that short of a shift I was a freshman in HS. You're def either in HS, living with your parents, rich af, or all of the above.

Im guessing you dont have a second job? Those shifts usually range from 3-5 hours and thats usually after a 8 hour shift at a main job.

I work 48 hours a week at my job. I have no time for a 2nd one. Although yes they could be working a 2nd job and I definitely jumped the gun on being an asshole about the whole deal

Yeah best swing for work life balance. Get a long weekend ever break to actually do stuff with

8 day week? So your schedule isnt the same week to week?
by Dickimattie1 week ago
I want this. I'm usually fine after 8 hours and could do more.
by Gregoria931 week ago
Yup....I would do 3 13.333333's and 4 day weekends if they would let me
by Pagacfrancis1 week ago

How about five ten hour shifts 👀
by No_Plant1 week ago
Yep, 4 10s is titties
by Anonymous1 week ago
I've worked three 12 hour shifts one week and four the next for many years. So always 3 or 4 day weekends. Fours 10s would be ok. Five 8 hour shifts would stink.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Absolutely. The difference between 8 and 10 is hardly noticeable once you get used to it but the extra day is always nice. Plus it gives you a week day to do things you need to and everything is open normal hours.

I used to love working 4 10s. Now I can't do it because of my husband but that was the absolute best shift back then.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Bruh where do you work that normally gives people 5 or 6 hour shifts lol. That's like HS part time stuff.

Oh ya.. 12 hours no break.. lol
by bartonraegan1 week ago
Yeah ... that's a no from me dawg.

I would say 4 hour shifts are better than 5 hour shifts
by Suitable-Welcome1 week ago
I hate wasting my time having to get ready for work but I can't deny 4 hour shifts feel good. They're over in a goddamn instant. I always felt like I just got there.
by Anonymous1 week ago
But with 6 hours, the half hour lunch break is unpaid so you only get paid for 5.5 of the hours so you're literally just wasting half an hour of your life in the break room just to work another half hour. Also, 5.5 x 7 = 38.5 so not much difference.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Probably depends on location but in my experience there's always been a 15 minute break for a 5 hour shift, so it's not working for 5 hours straight. It's enough time for a snack, and they're not unpaid.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Idk about your job but if I take my unpaid lunch I have to work the extra half hour to make up the time so if I work 8 hrs with a half hour unpaid I really am there for 8.5 hrs
by Anonymous1 week ago
Right but what's being said is the length of shift hardly matters when you aren't even working full time hours lol like how you gonna complain about your shift length when you don't even work the regular number of hours in a week regardless lol

People who think everyone lives in a major city paying 5k for a 1 bedroom dorm is hilarious. Nah mate not everyone needs to work full time to survive. Some of us prefer enjoying life. Wish I was rich though.
by Anonymous1 week ago
That definitely depends on the country and your life style. Unless kids come into the picture, I could personally live comfortably with a 35 hour week with our current "minimum" wage, around $20/h.
by bonnieconsidine1 week ago
The less you have to work with the most pay is what's best. Why should "investors" get the lions share of the profit? If it wasn't for that we'd all be working 20 hours weeks and making the same wages.
by Anonymous1 week ago
? work is painful, the less we have the better. 16 hours would be ideal, if we have to work. 30 is the upper limit, 2-3 days. even 4 days is a bit much, 5 days terrible, even more, unbearable.
by jarenwill1 week ago
I loved my 5 hour shifts at my old job. I got a 15 minute paid break for working that 5 hours. I'm desperately trying to go back to that job.
by Anonymous1 week ago
If your boss is cool, they may let you take your break at the end of your shift instead of in the middle. Then you just leave 30 minutes earlier than normal and get paid for it. Either way it's the same amount of hours working. I had a few bosses that were cool with it.
by Anonymous1 week ago
This is true and my boss does not seem to understand my preference. A break is too much fuss to be worth the stress but I also can't not have a break because I need dinner during work. But if I'm let out an hour earlier I can just go buy it somewhere else
by Anonymous1 week ago
Oh I'll take either of those rather than the 7 to 4:30 I'll be doing tomorrow, plus 200 mile drive
by estroman1 week ago
I don't get paid by the hour. That's not the standard for my country. I get paid to work from 8 to 6 with 2 hour paid break. It's better to be paid by the hour, do you guys think?
by Anonymous1 week ago
5 hour shifts are what is called 'part time', and are usually done by those needing a suplimental income or holding down a seperate job. In most of the western world, 5 hour shifts are a luxury or an crushing necessity, not an option for a primary income.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I prefer just having a full time job. I don't get specified breaks, though. My "breaks" happen when I get a chance. Sometimes almost my entire is a break and other times I'm running balls to the wall the whole time.

How the hell is "working less is better" an unpopular opinion?
by hadleyluettgen1 week ago
We don't need to work that much anyway, our overproduction is destroying us and the world.
by AcanthaceaeSure25351 week ago
Except then how to acquire resources?
by Gavinmante1 week ago
We already have enough resources to provide everybody on earth a decent living.
by AcanthaceaeSure25351 week ago
Yeah but a lot of people with most of the resources dont want to give those resources away.
by Gavinmante1 week ago
That's precisely the problem. So take the resources from them.
by AcanthaceaeSure25351 week ago
No thank you.
by Gavinmante1 week ago
Imagine working part time.

Somebody works at Walmart lol
by Dense_Breakfast_75991 week ago
So? It's better than nothing.
by Madisyn641 week ago
Not judging you. I did two years there and it's the only place I've ever worked where this became a problem. Most places just do a four hour shift or an eight hour shift.
by Dense_Breakfast_75991 week ago
It's cool. Just the downside to communicating via text.
