I noticed this Summer I started transitioning my morning walks to pre-sunrise hours to try to escape the heat (since even mornings in Ohio are getting to be hot). Since global warming (or climate change in general) is happening and there’s apparently nothing to be done to fix it in our lifetimes, it made me wonder if our overall society might move towards more nocturnal working hours instead of the standard 9–5, just to escape overheating during the day?
There’s probably no incentive currently, since workers aren’t dropping like flies yet, but I could see it coming into play as global warming gets worse over time and it causes legitimate production issues. Probably some jobs wouldn’t have the option, but most I think would be able to benefit from it. Does this sound like something realistic, or are we cursed to have to endure extreme temperatures because we’ve always worked in the daytime and we can’t/won’t change now?
What were your hours? i love night shift because it allows me to take care of whatever i need to during the day when everything is open.
i work 20-6
There was only two shifts there, it was a welding job for a Honda supplier. It was like 5pm to 1 or 2am most nights, but depending on what the workload was like we would have to work all the way til the next morning when 1st shift came in. I do not miss that life.
