It's usually because they can't get full teams willing to work only the shitty shifts

...at the rate they want to pay them. In ye olden times the shitty shifts would pay more.

From personal experience, when that happens everybody fights over the shitty shifts.

When my old company got bought out and they started making some people work Thanksgiving, people fought over the Thanksgiving shift because it paid 2.5x.

Reality is people always bitch no matter how shifts are broken up. These crappy rotations end up being the most "fair" system, so that's what corporate adopts even though everyone hates it.

What's the problem with paying more that the shitty shift becomes desirable enough for people to fight over? Seems a lot better than making it suck and forcing everybody to suffer
