Yeah, I’ll start making major changes on this active system people are actively using while they are actively using it. Or… I could do it at 10pm when they’re all in bed and won’t write me nastygrams about interrupting their workflow.
I’m also thinking of things like roadworks, where you can either have land closures when folks are out and about or at night when there are fewer folks on the road and working with hot asphalt is less hot.
There are also some processes that need to be done at a certain temperature, like thermite welding rail (skip to like 4:00). So, either you air condition the railroads or you weld when the outside temperature is right.
You don’t do major changes regularly/every night, updates can be automated/performed on the weekends.
Or you can do them during the normal working hours but also inform the users about the maintenance work by mail/push notifications. At work we use a service that provides notifications with times and dates about any possible downtimes.
I guess I should’ve made a more narrow remark and add that only unnecessary night labor must be banned - I used to work on a production that required intensive manual labor with 8AM-8PM and 8PM-8AM shifts and the only reason for the 8PM-8AM shifts was to make production more efficient by sacrificing the workers’ health, although I know some people who love working at night and don’t care that they look 74 in their 50’s.
Don’t ever work at night unless you are a medical worker. Active labor at night must be banned.
A lot of different industries need 24 hour operations. I work in telecom and we don’t shut the internet down at night.
What kind of intensive labour are you required to perform at night in this occupation?
Now there’s an idea
