A work shift where the workers have eight hours (or less) between the time they get off of work and their next shift. Named this way because workers who are put into this situation are usually overworked and underpaid by their boss and would rather be dead than be forced to be overworked by a company that doesn't give a shit about them. Two notable cases occurred in July 2021 with the Frito-Lays company and in August 2021 with Nabisco. Unfortunately, this has become more common since the COVID-19 pandemic started
"One of the most contentious issues throughout the bargaining process, according to union leaders, has been the regular use of forced overtime at the plant that results in so-called 'suicide shifts' where "'many of the more than 800 workers at the plant are only getting an eight-hour break between shifts."'

"Alongside low pay, treatment of employees is coming to the surface. Workers at Frito-Lay—which also exceeded its profit goals during the pandemic—went on strike for three weeks this summer, citing concerns over forced overtime, 100-degree plus conditions, and 'suicide shifts.' The workers were successful in ending the practice of assigning the grueling 12-hour shifts, which took place less than 8 hours apart...Parent conglomerate Mondelez International angered employees when it proposed turning eight-hour shifts into 12-hour ones without overtime."

Similar to road head except the driver of a vehicle performs oral sex on the passenger while driving, instead of the passenger performing oral on the driver; the passenger steers from their seat and announces when to apply the brake and throttle.
I came up with this driving down the road at work making jokes about purposely wrecking the whole truck if the guys didn’t stop messing with me while driving. They joked about giving me road head to calm me down and I countered with the suicide shift.

Made famous amongst early 20th century motorcycles, now a sex position. Doggie style, but while fisting her vagina, you anally penetrate her with your penis. A somewhat difficult position to obtain.
