I’m in my 30s and I would hate to work weekends. I used to do it for several years before covid but always felt like I missed out on a lot with friends. Now when they tell stories about things that happened I’m like..oh I wasn’t there because I was working 🥹 BUT if it’s your only option you can definitely make it work and make the most out of the weekends you do have off!

Depends, does the 3x12s include EVERY weekend? I would only take the 3x12s if there was a stipulation of no more than 4 weekend days per month and you had the flexibility to request not to be scheduled on certain days in advance. I wouldn’t mind working weekends if I had nothing to do, but if I had plans, I’d definitely want the flexibility to not be scheduled.

Echoing others here in saying I wouldn't mind as long as I still had most of my weekends free. When I've had 3x12s I enjoyed it because I had more days off and 12hr shifts didn't bother me. I don't think I could ever go back to 5x8s because I've gotten used to having at least 3 days off a week.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.
