2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Most people only choose swing or graveyard with a differential. Rotating allows employers to fill shifts without offering differentials.
I used to work nights and got a differential. I would have been significantly less complacent without one.
From google:
This means that since you’ve got shifts at all hours of the clock, there are no “untraditional hours” for you, hence no differential compensation.
Thanks Mr Technicality! Its pretty clear OP was saying they got paid a premium over their coworkers that did the same role as OP but during non night shift hours, and had they not gotten that premium, they wouldnt have been as ok with nightshift hours
tradition in this context is not "what you're company typically does" it's "what society typically does". that's why they're considered untraditional. because you have to exist when the rest of the world is asleep and that makes many things hard to do.
