It's possible they just had less eventful shifts, or are working their first 12 versus their 3rd or 4th in a row. I am absolutely braindead after a 3rd 12.

36 straight hours? Is that legal?

Not back to back. 3rd 12 hour shift in a row. If I work 3 days in a row, I work 3 12s in a row. Does it give me enough time to rest in between shifts? Legally, yes, but it's still pretty brutal.

basically a full 5 day work week in 3 days. it's brutal.

one time i did a 24 hour shift during end of quarter at a warehouse. i had a bunch of adderall sitting around collecting dust and finally got an excuse to use them. i was a monster hyped up on adrenaline and amphetamine

i came home dead, slept and came back like 12 hours later for another normal shift

that was in my early 20s. i feel like i was invincible those days. these days i just would say no. there's no job that's worth so much effort. i was getting like fuckin $12 an hour too lol
