So the work is too important to work 12 hour shifts on it, yet your solution is throwing “cheap” grad students at it?

- TeMPOraL 3y agoWait until I tell you who's doing work in hospitals and how much they're being paid for it.
- dgunay 3y agoAnother relevant bit of info from hospital accidents: hand-offs between shifts are known to increase the risk of a mistake in care and are part of the reason nurses and doctors work such long hours.
- elteto 3y agoI avoid, if possible of course, going to the hospital right before a shift change for this very reason.
- noSyncCloud 3y agoI'm not questioning your logic here, but how do you keep intimate knowledge of the seasonal vagaries of shift changes at every department of your local hospital?
- TeMPOraL 3y agoYou can probably make a good guess, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised to find websites or Facebook groups dedicated to tracking this information for hospitals in any given area.
- elteto 3y agoIf you’ve been to that hospital you can easily take note. And most places have a shift change between 5-7am. This one is almost universal, as far as I have observed, even in different countries.
- pbj1968 3y agoBecause they’re more or less universal.
- krisoft 3y ago> work is too important to work 12 hour shifts on it Yes. Because it is know that exhausted people make mistakes. The work is too important to let exhausted people screw it up so you should make sure everyone working on it is well rested. > your solution is throwing “cheap” grad students at it Yes? It is testing an electric motor. They can do it. The solution is that you employ enough people so nobody needs to work 12 hour heroic shifts.
- elteto 3y agoThat “solution” is nothing more than typical HN backseat driving. In the real world there are budget, personnel and hiring constraints. You don’t get to hire all the people you want. You make do with what you have, and try to push the mission forward, even in suboptimal conditions.
- 0xbadcafebee 3y agoSo we should make every person work 12 hours, then. This 8 hour workday is for the birds, the company has a mission!
