Youre right in terms of using the machines. However, it doesn't make any difference for the machine who operates it. If people operate it while doing their normal first shift like they do every week or if they operate it in the third shift, because they have it this week makes zero difference for the machine. Rotating shifts has absolutely zero benefits and destroy your workforce.

Thats what I'm confused about, if they have staff to run it all the time, why would they schedule people like this except to make their lives more miserable? I do know bosses love that though.

Edit: Someone pointed out people don't want to work only the swing shift or night, so they schedule like this to keep full crews, I guess that makes sense but it still sucks

That's true, but rotating less frequently would be better for everyone. As example rotating every month has the same effect, but allows your worker to get a good rhythm.
