Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking
Naich@lemmings.world 4 months agoSomeone told me that the reason for 12 hour shifts is that most medical mistakes and accidents happen because of shift changes. Reducing the number of shift changes from 3 to 2 results in fewer mistakes, despite longer working hours.
This is true. It also results in less intershift rancor. But it doesn’t change the difficulties of 4th and 5th shifts in the same week.
I’m all for turning a 40hr/5day work week into a 36hr/3day work week. It works well in 24hr professions.
What I’m not for is this 996 nonsense.

Not really, a huge cocaine user came up with the system, and we use it since then because “it’s as we always have done it!!”
