2) employees to accept weekly planned or unplanned shift rotation.
Want more employees? Provide more “40 hour per week” jobs with benefits and limit shift rotation so employees don’t have to fear that their private life routines will not be upset by constant shift changes.
The “covid” stress is real. But that is just icing on the cake for someone working 25 hours per week at $12 per hour with no benefits and constant shift rotation (making a 2nd job impossible to plan). Rude people is just extra “crap” on top of an already “crappy” work experience. It doesn’t have to be that way. It didn’t used to be.
