How could you possibly not be woken up by this?
Where 10 hour shifts still are a thing.
10-hour shifts are very common in the US. Working 50 hours a week is fairly common, though sometimes people work four 10-hour days instead of the usual five 8-hour days that people know as a "9 to 5 job."
I was recently looking at a job listing where they were hiring for 2 shifts of the same role. The first was 50 hours a week working 10-hour days from 7am to 5pm, and the second shift worked 42 hour weeks with four 9-hour days where you worked from 3pm to midnight and then a shortened 6 hour day on Fridays. These kinds of schedules are the norm in manufacturing and logistics jobs, and in my experience, the higher your salary and the more senior your role, the fewer hours you're expected to work. And you might even get benefits like vacation time and sick days/pay!
Still, he has wife, daughter and dog, so...
Bro I've been working 12 hour shifts basically my whole career
Where are 10 hour shifts not a thing? Has there been some wierd place where shifts have gotten shorter dispite people being unable to afford anything?
Regularly? Not here. There may be workarounds for exceptional circumstances.
Europe, USA, probably elsewhere too.
I choose to work ten hour shifts so I don't have to work Fridays! It's not always a bad thing.
