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:

A differential in scheduling is additional compensation for hours worked outside of the standard schedule or at untraditional times, such as nights, weekends, or holidays

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.
