I wonder how many academics have ever had their bathrooms breaks policed, or even realise that bathroom breaks get policed?

How many academics have ever worked a 2-10pm, followed by 7am-3pm shift - which was absolutely a regular occurrence when I worked in nursing & care work?

How many academics have worked night shifts - or what were optimistically called "sleep-ins' - for £30.00 a night?

How many academics have worked the dreaded split-shift - 7am-10am; and then back again at about 3pm?

And, perhaps needless to say, the sorts of hours that are common in care work are destructive to family and social life, and fall disproportionately upon women.

Into his sixties my dad worked the 12-hour DuPont shift schedule. It destroys your circadian rhythm and leaves you unable to do anything but sleep in your downtime.

Rotating shift - morning-shift (7am - 4pm) one week, then afternoon-shift (3pm - midnight) the next week, then night-shift (11pm - 8am) is a real, real killer. Not just of sleep, but of all normal social life & non-work life. Did that for years

Me and my colleagues who teach at Community Colleges. It ain't a nursing-brutal schedule, but it's bad. Split shifts and turnarounds with minimal to no break are not uncommon. Also predominately female colleagues.
