This may be an odd thread, because retail and manufacturing are two different types of work (and I know from retail experience that most people all work different hours, not a whole lump of people working 8-4 and then another group 4-midnight), but nevertheless, is there anything that titters you about different shifts where you work? Do you work mornings and always have to spend extra time cleaning up after the lazy evening people who didn't close the store properly? Are you a fellow manufacturing slave who is sick of the previous shift not following the rules? Are you an evening shift person who gets sick and tired of customers screaming that you aren't as good as the morning people?
1st shift people at the factory are total snobs. They are the senior operators who have been there for years and years. It is impossible to be hired on to first shift. It's all about seniority. They take advantage of that, and use it as ammunition and use it to validate their "point" that they are the best. They also process the easiest orders and always roll their eyes if machines are not functioning when they come in or if there were any issues during the night. They are impossible to talk to, they are like talking to snobby little brats. They usually walk into the production area with their noses up in the air and rolling their eyes.
2nd shift people are careless. They don't care if they meet their shiftly goal or if anything in general gets done. They don't care PERIOD. They make no effort to move product from our department to the next process. They make no effort to do anything whatsoever, really. Every night when my shift walks in, we usually spend at the very least the first 2, if not 3 hours of the shift cleaning up after them. Finished product sits for hours without moving. Troubled/defective products sit without being fixed. There have been nights where we have spent the entire night cleaning up their messes.
3rd shift...yes that's me. No, my shift isn't perfect. There are too many people who don't get along on my shift. There is a lot of drama. There are certain people with really bad attitudes. But we are the ONLY shift that follows the rules by the books. Any time something in the process changes, we apply it right away without complaining.
The weekend people.......let's not even start. They are worse than 2nd shift. But then again, with my ex and the supervisor sitting in the office all night, eating and taking and him playing video games (not to mention that he takes hour long breaks and takes "walks" throughout the factory, even to departments he has no business wandering to), look at the example that everyone is being taught to follow. Of course nothing gets done. Of course no one cares. Why bother working if the leaders don't do anything all day and all night?

Well, I do have to commend them on their honesty.
