Is it a about money? Is it a bragging rights thing? Is it a leftover of years gone by?

My old factory job was a 24h operation. Going 5-5 makes more sense than going 8-8 because managers that want to talk to both teams would rather stay until 6 than come in at 7.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

8-8 also makes doing anything outside of work nearly impossible on work days. You can generally find doctors, dentists, mechanics, etc. Open after 5, but finding them open before 8 is generally harder.

Ah, so it's about making the managers' jobs easier

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily making them easier, but making it so that one shift worth of management and office/engineering staff can effectively support 2 manufacturing shifts.

The managers could come in at 5, but then they only have a couple hours at best to interface with 2nd shift

The factory ran 24/7 but managers were only there 9-5?

Yep. The highest station at night was the supervisor. If production went down, they'd call the manager about it.
