I worked 5 eight hour days a week. I worked 4 ten hour days a week and 3 twelve hour days a week that was set up with an over lap 12 day during the month.
My findings for myself. 8 hours days are so short. It seems the time flies by but you have to come in for 5 days and that stinks. The four day was the best. Three days off was gold. 12 hour days was ridiculous. If the job is over an hour away you only have 2 hours a day to yourself. I hated 12 hour days. Some guys loved the time off.
I found the same thing in my experience. Worked about every schedule you can think of, and 8 hrs is too short, 10 hrs about right, 4 days on, 3 off. 12 hrs is doable for short term but after time my production in the last 2 hrs on the last couple days of the shift was affected. I currently work 5 eight hr days and miss the 4 10 hr days.
