I work for a large manufacturing company that operates 24 hours a day and until 9 months ago had a permanent night shift. For reasons unknown (needs of the business blah blah) they gave us 90 days notice and now the whole factory is on a 3 shift rotation. 6 months in and I can't explain how unhealthy I feel, a constant fatigue accompanied by regular colds, chest infections etc. The lack of sleep is obviously the reason for the fatigue as I struggle to get 4 hours after a night shift and that is hit and miss. I am considering speaking to HR but I'm sure anyone who works in manufacturing will tell you that the chances of a change in my shift pattern are virtually zero. Does anyone else work rotating shifts and how are you getting along?
