What you call shift work is different from the swedish definition of it. Shift work is typically a term reserved for those types of work where there is a briefing between shifts. Industry, hospital etc. 24-hour kind of operations.
What i think you mean is office work, but that could also mean set times. But you would never call it shift work.
Lets say a call center that has a set opening time, or mechanic that has to open the shop at a given time. Those would not be considered shift work, unless they are open 24/7. So thats where we misunderstand each other.
Yeah, that’s definitely it then. In the US we call things shift work of you have a shift. Which are things like, show up at 2 PM, leave at 10 PM. It’s typically reserved for jobs that relieve other shifts. So showing up late means your coworkers have to work alone for a bit. Something like an office (not call center) wouldn’t be considered shift work here because you’re generally not directly interfacing with customers or relieving people from a previous shift.
