Have you seen a four-shift, three-day rotation like this?
Thread Content
Day 1: Work from 8:00 to 16:30. Day 2: Work from 8:00 to 16:30. Day 3: Work from 16:30 until 0:30 on Day 4. Day 4: Work from 16:30 until 0:30 on Day 5. Day 5: Rest after work at 0:30. Day 6: Work from 0:30 to 8:00. Day 7: Work from 0:30 to 8:00. Day 8: Rest. One shift lasts 8 days, constituting one cycle; on the ninth day, it repeats from the first day again. The only day when there is actual rest is Day 8 – only one day off per shift. These are the days of working shifts – an 8-day cycle that repeats over and over again, 365 days a year. Even during the 7 statutory holidays, one still has to work shifts; it just pays a little more. There are no holidays during festivals, and the only time for real rest is on the 8th day of the four-shift, three-shift rotation. Day after day, year after year, some experienced workers have been living this way for 20 years now
Is there really such a terrifying shift system? Is the shortage of people that serious?
It can’t be a shortage of staff; wouldn’t it be good to change it to 12 hours per shift, with shifts changing every four days? Four shifts, two rotations.
Our factory also shuts down in the same way……
One word for your leaders--------------------Heartless! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Be satisfied with what you have, original poster! This was originally the way we worked; we thought it was fine at the time. Now it has been changed to three shifts per day. The specific times are as follows: Day 1: 8:00–16:30; Day 2: 8:00–16:30; Day 3: 8:00–16:30; Day 4: 8:00–16:30; Day 5: 0:30–8:00; Day 6: 0:30–8:00; Day 7: 0:30–8:00; Day 8: 0:30–8:00; Day 9: 16:30–0:30; Day 10: 16:30–0:30; Day 11: 16:30–0:30; Day 12: 16:30–0:30; Day 13: 8:00–16:30.

Here too it’s a 4-shift, 3-shift system with the “996” work schedule; I find it very exhausting. At home, I mostly just sleep. Take a look and see which one is better compared to yours; you can suggest it to your supervisor, as the number of people is the same in any case. Day 1: Work from 8:00 to 16:30. Day 2: Work from 8:00 to 16:30. Day 3: Work from 8:00 to 16:30. Day 4: Work from 16:30 to 2:00. Day 5: Work from 16:30 to 2:00. Day 6: Work from 16:30 to 2:00. Day 7: Off. Day 8: Work from 2:00 to 8:00. Day 9: Work from 16:20 to 8:00. Day 10: Work from 2:00 to 8:00. Day 11: Off. Day 12: Off. Then the cycle repeats~
Our Class 4 works in two shifts: on the first day it’s a day shift from 8:00 to 17:00; on the second day it’s from 17:00 until 8:00 the next morning, with rest on the third day. On the fourth day there’s again a day shift from 8:00 to 17:00; on the fifth day it’s from 17:00 until 8:00 the following morning, with an overnight shift on the sixth day, rest on the seventh day, and rest again on the eighth day. It’s a cycle of eight days, with three days off. The night shifts are a bit longer, but with persistence, it’s manageable.
This is a typical four-shift, three-shift, dual-operation setup; there are many of these! The workload is huge; I can’t hold on for 12 hours
It’s still better to have the two-shift system in Shift 5: (In Xinjiang) Day 1: 10:00–18:00, day shift; Day 2: 10:00–18:00, day shift; Day 3: rest; Day 4: 02:00–10:00, night shift; Day 5: rest; Day 6: rest; Day 7: 02:00–10:00, night shift; Day 8: rest. Day 9: 18:00--02:00, day shift. Day 10: 18:00--02:00, day shift. There is a three-day break after ten days; the night shift is a bit longer, but with persistence it will pass as well
This is the schedule for Shift 5 at our factory: Day 1: 08:00–16:00, day shift; Day 2: rest; Day 3: 00:00–08:00, night shift; Day 4: rest; Day 5: 16:00–00:00, middle shift; Day 6: rest (shifts are worked from Monday to Friday). One cycle consists of six days, with 8 hours of work followed by 32 hours of rest! But the only downside is that on the second day of working the middle shift, one still has to work a secondary shift!
It’s terrifying; this is a three-shift system in Class 4 :)
In the past, many factories adopted a system of \"four shifts, three supervisors, and dual operations.\" There are now many different shift patterns, and the best one is the \"four-shifts-two-nights with rotating rest\" system. Under the condition that the plant operates smoothly, a certain period of the night shift is divided into shifts A and B for rotation (for example, shift A rests from 23:00 to 3:00, while shift B rests from 3:00 to 7:00). This approach works very well: it does not require additional staff, ensures the safety of the plant, and also helps to reduce the workload.

This treatment is already quite good; we’re still working three shifts at the moment. It’s still good that the early shift has been changed to 6 o’clock.
Yes, that’s how the shifts work. In essence, it means working seven days out of eight. But the company should calculate overtime based on the number of extra days one works. I don’t know exactly how it’s calculated, but on the days when there’s extra work, overtime is accounted for
It feels like this is the old four-shift, three-shift system. It should be quite ordinary and normal. Back then, it was six days of work followed by one day off; now it’s five days of work followed by two days off, so it must be more exhausting. Also, should overtime be counted a little bit?
I’ve never seen a four-shift, three-shift system like this; it might be in conflict with labor laws. There are two possible solutions: 1, change the working hours through proper channels. 2. The two parties agree to provide financial compensation for working beyond regular working hours.
It’s normal; it’s always poured this way
Our company used to operate on a four-shift, three-turn system: Day 1: 8:00–16:00; Day 2: 8:00–16:00; Day 3: 16:00–24:00; Day 4: 16:00–24:00; Day 5: 16:00–24:00; Day 6: rest day; Day 7: 0:00–8:00; Day 8: 0:00–8:00; Day 9: rest day; Day 10: repeat Day 1；
We have a three-day cycle. On the first day, we work from 8:00 to 16:00; on the second day, from 16:00 to 00:00; on the third day, from 00:00 to 08:00. On the fourth day, we work again from 8:00 to 16:00 (the same as the first day), on the fifth day from 16:00 to 00:00 (the same as the second day), and on the sixth day from 00:00 to 08:00 (the same as the third day)
