So, if there's a company that operates for 24 hour non-stop (or maybe less), usually the people are working in a "shift", in a turn. As example, A works in the morning, and B in the evening. Variable shift means that A doesn't always works in the morning, he can sometime asked (or request) to work in the evening.
At least that's how it's work in my country....

It always means you may change which shift you work any given week (day, evening, night). Most places I've worked with such things usually had a rotating schedule - each week you'd roll forward 8 hours.
week 1 - 8am report week 2 - 4pm report week 3 - midnight report rinse - repeat. Sliding to earlier shifts is usually quite hard on the bio-rhythms so most places have learned to bump shifts forward. Beware any workplace that jumps you randomly or bumps shifts backward -- they usually have a much higher accident rate (d'uh).

Anyone knows what is the best way to ask an acquaintance his/her name (who you knew for a long time but forgot his/her name) without hurting their feeling?
What i always do is asking their number, and get them to spell out their name... or just admit that i am really bad at remember people name..... But these two does not work in every occasion (especially when their name is happened to be ridiculously easy to spell: Tom, Ben, Smith for example....)

Never found any clean way to do it other than to knock myself on the head and lament my brain simply fails to store names properly as I apologize. Its wierd - I can tell you what they look like, visualize their face, relate experiences of them in great detail, even tell you their bio... but the name vanishes in the fog. It does not serve me well in any context that depends heavily on social diplomacy (like sales work).

Yeah I've also been really bad at that, I don't know the names of half the people I go to school with, luckily I've found facebook helps a lot with this, looking at mutual friend's photos wall etc.

Names are overrated. I really can't think of any situation where you need to say someone's name while talking to them. "Hey!" and "Excuse me" cover geting people's attention. Honestly, I don't think I've said anyone's name to them for the past 10 years.
Talking about them is a different situation, but in that case you can always ask the person you're talking to. |
