Any thought in working 3x12s a week vs a typical 5x8 or 4x10? I am working 3x12 and have to work some weekends and I am not sure if I like it. I am 25yrs lmk maybe I am just young? Thoughts?

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.
