My old factory job was a 24h operation. Going 5-5 makes more sense than going 8-8 because managers that want to talk to both teams would rather stay until 6 than come in at 7.
8-8 also makes doing anything outside of work nearly impossible on work days. You can generally find doctors, dentists, mechanics, etc. Open after 5, but finding them open before 8 is generally harder.

The factory ran 24/7 but managers were only there 9-5?
Yep. The highest station at night was the supervisor. If production went down, they’d call the manager about it.
