The Irrelevant Shift
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.
Hello. Many people, including myself, do shift work. We start at a certain time, and end at a certain time. However, those times don't always conform to the amount of work we do. In essence, shifts are irrelevant.
Why? Because it's not the start and stop times of a person's shifts that are important. It's whether or not people are being served. And the Pareto Principle says 20% of someone's time is spent doing 80% their work.
As a result, a person who normally works 9-5 five days a week could instead work 9-5 one day of the week and get 4 days worth of work done.
Or a person could work less than 2 hours a day and get done more than 6 hours work (based on an 8 hour day).
So why do people have to work shifts? More tomorrow.

Irrelevant
