its not about phones, for the ignorant. i rememeber in the 90s working second shift. they decided that we werent meeting time on the pull,not my job, and that somehow the breakroom was responsible.(time to pull is how fast the pickers found and scanned the product on manifest) so they padlocked it. it was wear the bathroom was. everybody quit when the first person to try and take a piss noticed that and the message on the door. got a call of all things about why i quit, as i was a janitor. before i even responded they were complaining how dirty the breakroom and bathrooms were. that they locked. along with the office. where my only duties interior to the buildings were. what did they expect me to do all night besides wash the exterior doors and windows and do the the yard upkeep?
I had a moment like this at my factory. Dayshift had alot of experienced techs quit and they filled in all the spots with new people all at the same time, which meant alot of fuckups which meant more downtime from adjustments to maintenance that extended usually into my nightshade. Had the dept head come to our meeting demanding an explanation from nightspot why our productivity dropped. When we told him how often were are fixing dayshifts mistakes all he said was we need to show more grit. Pretty sure everyone in the room wanted to deck him.
My old company used to have weekly meetings to discuss 2nd shift performance, issues 2ndshift was having, and create the work schedule for 2nd shift. Very unfortunately the department managers and engineers who were discussing all of this were on 1st shift. Which left an hour before 2nd shift even arrived. Oddly, 2nd shift was always on the hook for department problems, and since none of the lazy 2nd shifters showed up 2 hours early for unpaid overtime none of them were ever around to clarify anything. Also oddly 1st shift always seemed to end up with the easy jobs that always ran smoothly, and 3rd shift never had any issues that weren't already there when they clocked in. They had a hard time keeping anyone on 2nd shift for some bizarre reason. However being 50% understaffed was never cited as reason that the shift was only managing 80% of what the other 2 were managing, it was always lack of work ethic. I'm definitely not at all bitter about the situation AT ALL lol
They be talking about production/safety when 15/20 employees show up. Ohhhhh but when 25/10 employees show up and everything is running smooth, somehow they send 10 employees home annnnnnddd we are back to being behind.
It's because they're not allowed to keep those people by their bosses and then are told by those same big bosses that they need to do something about the lag this causes. The top brass never give two fucks about production or safety. It's just about them and whatever they can do to look good for themselves. Which means cutting workers , and then still demanding high production rates , because "excellence". They're evil , and no one wants to do anything about it.
@@claytucker5025 oh loads but it would take everyone putting it all on the line and they won't. "Everybody wants to change the world but no one wants to die"
@@claytucker5025 it's very obvious what we should do. All around the world right now america is harming so many. Even right here in that very country. America creates and exports pain and suffering to it's citizens and the people of the world. Just as bad as Russia in most regards. Neither have any good moral standing and neithers people have freedom except for the elite who have always had their freedom. America is a corrupt oligarchy pretending to be a democracy just as much as Russia pretends.
I never have. We had it at this rebar shop. But we didn’t leave until we loaded out trailers. Second shift worked on our second delivery. Which was around 10am
The Golden Rule of Warehousing is...no matter what happens its Always 2nd & 3rd Shifts fault even though they are usually the most productive shifts. 1st Shift cannot function without using this Golden Rule as a crutch lols.
Neither have I, granted I used to get there at 4:30AM and leave around 6PM when the warehouse closed (because they were pretty careless with OT, if you wanted to work it they'd give it to you), but I have witnessed the audacity of floor supervisors and upper management.
On a 3 shift crew. 3rd shift has worst support crew and no management over sight. Supervisors try to pull crazy shit, things stay down longer than planned, and it looks bad on paper. On 1st. Every suit, collar, and coffee drinker is there.
Fuck that one is funny cuz it’s true. As a welder and mechanic in my life I’ve never seen a sparky do fuck all for cleanup. That old sayin goes it was so slow today I saw a welder with a paintbrush and an electrician with a broom in his hand. It was fucked!
I keep tight control of the food to make sure everyone gets some. you can't leave food unattended around men. EVERYONE gets a biscuit, two slices of pizza or a sandwhich. THEN you can ask me for seconds.
'Cause all supervisors/managers are there to do one thing, bark orders. 'Cause in today's work environment hierarchy, the CEOs are the sheep herders, the management are the dogs, and the workers, (the ones who MAKE the CEO's the dang money!!!) are the sheep. The problem is THESE sheep can walk away whenever we want, and that's why they union bust... they're scared of us
Thats not his manager, its just "A" manager. No managers for second or third shift, they are too important to work anything but 9-5. He probably thinks first shift wills those pallets full of stuff to be shipped into existence upon clocking in. After all, its not like second shift does anything.
I must admit as a Gen Xer I grew up with companies that thought giving you a job was a gift, and you should feel privileged to be allowed to work on there factory floor. and god forbid that they do or pay for any training. Well now that the tables are turned and these same companies are desperately trying to get literally anyone to apply, I must admit it brings a big smile to my face. 😃
@kempolar9768 yea, the great workforce reckoning never arrived. Work culture is far worse than its ever been. Everyone is supposed to make up for the fact employers can't retain employees and are always short handed. Basically, we're all doing 2x the work for the same pay.
Well it’s because automation is taking over a lot of the factory jobs. The truth is they don’t really need people besides a select few specialists. That’s going to apply to a lot of jobs in the future I think as well.
Bro seeing the empty food containers always hit the hardest knowing management didn't give a f*ck about anything other than their own shift. I've worked 1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts and 1st was always so easy once you knew management. 3rd always got f*cked no matter how much you did.
At my company 3rd was where they sent the rejects from 1st and 2nd. 3rd usually got away with basically anything because they would always be super nice and great managers that came in, and then blame everything on 2nd leaving them a mess.
Our company made up a "thank you" day where we got chocolates. Most of the employees returned the chocolates and said they are not gonna accept it as the cleaning ladies didn't get any chocolates (they are external company, but working for us). This mass protest caused quite a lot of anger in the management and they spent a long time trying to blame each other for this shitty approach called out by hundreds of people.
Have worked multiple companies 3rd shift ALWAYS carries the team but 1st shift gets all the rewards Was even in charge of scheduling these "rewards" for a time for a billion dollar company Exact response trying to give third shift a meal "there won't be many people there just save it"
@@mekal177Worked third shift. First and second shift got hot meals and we got sandwiches. If you got unlucky and hit the 6pm to 6am schedule you had two sandwiches. And yes we had a weird scheduling combination. Usually people worked from 6am-2pm, 2pm-10pm and 10pm-6am, but we also had 12 hour long "mid shifts". Either 6 till 6 or 10 till 10. No managers after 5pm tho
"You telling me those second shift guys didnt clean the restrooms, clean the entire production floor, put out all of the freight first shift left behind, work second shifts freight, AND load all of the trucks for first shift??? Lazy bastards" 😡😡
No, it's because inflation is rampant and no one wants to work their ass off just for it all to be taxed right to the dickhead who's responsible for inflation in the first place. Fuck Joe Biden.
I worked second shift at a manufacturing plant that chrome/nickel plated car and appliance parts and this Is spot on! I ALWAYS clocked In anytime they had us to come In an hour early for a meeting. Hell I clocked In when they had us to come In for our "Christmas parties". I'm not the only one the whole crew did the same thing. Funny thing about our Christmas parties was the fact that the same people always managed to win the nice stuff every year. Coincidently It was always office people. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was a certified forklift driver so yall already know I'm making bank everyday at work lmao.
@@SharkbaitDC as a uncertified lift operator, the least I’m taking is $15hr if I’m desperate n I’m comfy with around $17/$18hr. Certified operators definitely make atleast $20hr starting out
Currently work at a place as an office worker but not too long ago I was working the factory floor in another company. In this current company there are two things I think help keep the company together. One is - two weeks out of the year every office worker has to help warehouse out. Most of them don't do any heavy lifting or anything that would get in their way but for 2 weeks we get to know the amount of labor that goes into the factory and that helps us in the offices try to do things to make it easier for warehouse. A lot of QOL improvements for all involved. The second one is - warehouse cleans house on all raffles. They get about 10-20 raffle tickets a week vs Office workers who get about 10-20 a month. Meaning they often walk out with the best prizes.
This is a thing. The fact that he more than likely has a college degree and doesn't understand how the system works is also a thing. I've dealt with people like this that when you explain to them why things don't work. They blink at you with that "i didn't hear a word you just said look."
and unfortunately two things may happen if you try to have them actually SEE what second and third shift looks like at work. 1]they either show up and watch everything... then get the wrong idea and probably do even worse decisions. or 2] they don't even show up citing their "work experience" and "training," That ALONE would lose any respect to the dude. If they won't even come in with their second-s clothes and get dirty with us for at LEAST 5 minutes and ask us how and what's going on, and why, then why should we give them any{respect}.
As a second shifter, the the feeling of “second (shift) class citizen” is a common one. First shift always gets first priority on literally everything. The other two shifts have to shape themselves around what first shift decides to do/ not do. But I guess that’s pretty par for the course, unfortunately. At least there’s a premium I guess.
I've done my share of 2nd shift work... let me tell you, this is on target! The guys on first shift having their meeting DURING their shift WITH pizza??? Absolutely nailed it. Everything flows downhill... straight to 2nd shift! Lol. 😅
Dude I feel this back when I was in my early 20s I was working a shit warehouse job on 2nd shift then after over a year of no raises or anything I quit and went and became an electrician with apprenticeship and everything and it was the best decision ever. When I quit they had to hire 3 people to take over the work I was doing for crap wages lol
Ditto. Before the 2000s/2010s "productivity miracle" (i.e., fire 1/5 of the staff every 6 months and make everybody else work harder until the company folds), I took 2 weeks vacation (with the U.S. Army National Guard) and was told when I got back I had to start documentating my job because my boss had 70 emails a day forwarded to his computer and "the phone would not stop ringing". It took me 3 months to recover all the not-done-jobs that had piled up.
Reminds me of a very similar meeting we had when i worked at a place in Texas. I was second shift at a thermography business, and it was up to us to process the orders that were made earlier, get them processed, printed, packaged and on pallets so that the day shift just had to load them on the trucks and send them off. And it was just us warehouse people. The entire sales department always left at 5pm. So of course management always bitched about how we weren't pulling our weight, having no clue that making sales was only half the battle. They started scaling us back and even froze our pay rates. With the cut backs, orders took longer to process and ship, and as a result, customers were unhappy and started going to other places. The spiral of losing business, second shift getting blamed and cut, and losing more business continued until the company finally had to close its doors for good. Fortunately that happened after I left and picked up a job at one of their competitors who understood the dynamic between first and second shift.
That would definitely be something. A second-shift strike. I'd give it a week before managers came in wondering how come the drivers weren't loading their trucks when they were loading them just fine before the strike, not understanding that the drivers and 1st shift DIDN'T load the trucks.
"2nd and 3rd shift set things up for 1st shift to knock down. We solve problems that arise during 1st shift and clear those constraints. We adhere to safe work practices and clean up after others. We ensure kits are filled and vehicles are fueled and charged for 1st shift operations. We set up our team for success and by the way, we must meet the same quota". The ever enduring battle between 1st and 2nd/3rd shift.
This needs to be right next to Office Space on the self. 100 percent spot on. dunno how you did this with a straight face. I was two minutes in wondering wtf was going on.. Then i got it, havent had my coffee yet. Fckn Hats Off.. Keep Rockin n the Free World
I work at FedEx during 2nd shift and this is SO accurate. I've even been called into those mandatory meetings where you have to show up early. Luckily one of the managers went out of their way to tell us to clock in because we were there on company time to discuss work but it was easy to tell that the other manager who was there didn't want to tell us that. It was clear that they had "discussed" this before we arrived.
I could write a novel about the incompetence of our management at my old job. "What do you mean you can't hit rate when the machine is down? We have maintenance for a reason." We hadn't had a maintenance guy on 2nd for over 2 months prior to that conversation and didn't get one for another 3.
"Oh oh oh you can't be clocked in." I already felt something bubbled in me, my Boss is super understanding and we get paid for our time there when we clock in.
I remember working for this one small furniture company that got mad at us warehouse guys for drinking all the bottled water. Mind you we had two warehouse, one decrepit location in the ghetto that only stored sofas _near_ the store (about 5 minutes away) and the main warehouse all the labor workers were at -- 15 minutes from the store. Want to take a guess where the fridge with the water was...?
He has no clue what second shift does. Lets see how many sells and trucks go out on first shift with no second shift. I was a fixer in a mill (first shift) but I had the same problem. The floor manger had no clue just how important my job really was. Moved me to janitor and cut my pay. Replaced me with some one at half my pay that did not know anything. I quit. Two weeks later my replacement quit and left half the machines in pieces. When the floor manger realized she messed up had to nerve to call and ask me to come back. I just laughed in her face. They would not find anyone to work on the old outdated machines. It was the beginning of the end for the mill. It closed less than a year later.
I've felt this before. We worked swing shift, worked our asses off. But because day shift was more visible to management we were the red headed step child who could never do anything right
oh dude. Funny thing, is when enough of us in second and third shift would actually BE present for a day meeting... all of us in our raggedy, beat up and worked in ink stained clothes and boots walking onto the newspaper office floor for the meeting was, it was always something! Standing next to the press crews in their coverall uniforms with us, half the office people sideeyeing us like we left a trail of dirt and ink 🤣. I liked the fact that when we stood together like that, we looked like the inner album art for an old metal LP.
This reminded me of, I worked & retired from an Electric municipality, in payroll. One day the electric supervisor came in, face red as fire. Anyway, we had had a major ice storm, he was such a great person he was hands when needed. He was in a bucket truck & heard a Man, which was a preacher cursing his men on the ground. He came down & told the man you can curse me, but not my men. We’ve barely had 8 hours sleep in 4 days. The preacher obviously thought he was special & kept on ranting, Supervisor never got ugly. When job was finished the preacher grabbed the Supervisor by his back pocket as he was walking away & told him “I’m going yo have your job.”. The supervisor kept walking, all of a sudden he turned around & walked back up to the preacher, shoved the phone number to call in his front shirt pocket, saying, “please do, because when I’m fired I’m going to come back & stomp your ass”. All of this was on video. We, in the office were crying to contain our laughter. But sure enough the preacher called. Ended up, the Mayor which was in our office, was also on the board at the Church. The preacher was kinda new. She called in the deacons, they fired Preacherman immediately. When Preacher got ugly with them & they gave him 1 month to get out of town, as he had voided his contract. Small southern towns, especially small Churches don’t take BS. Be careful what you ask for, it might just backfire. 😂
I wish you'd do a follow up on what happened after this haha. This hits real close to home. And when this shift started leaving the people they brought in I heard didn't know how to do the job😂
Oh I saw it in real life. Sales plummeted and they kept laying off the production team at the warehouse while the idiot college "educated" managers ran it into the ground. Always the same story. You're just lazy and that equipment isn't broken. I left before it was bankrupt and when I heard that the 2 sons got jobs in another company, I warned everyone to get out and guess what happened 5 years later......
I heard tale while working at a newspaper packaging warehouse that they had an, "event." They had a holiday run and so many people out sick that the front office people had, some of them been "volunteered" to work the hoppers on that machine. A my best friend from that job got called in by my manager telling him "You have GOT to come in early and see this sh*t. It's worth it, trust me!" He did and it was. Office clothes, shoes, women in heels getting grimey, ink stained and dirty and sweaty from the work. My friend almost died laughing at the sight of it. At least one of those "Volunteers" started packing a couple extra black tshirts and work jeans and shoes 'just in case' that happened again. Gave that place 12 years and did that thing Jack Sparrow did when he platformed off the sinking ship onto the harbor jetty, like a boss. Hung on until it was absolute crap and let go before it really went nasty. Best work crew and manager I have ever had... Until my dept manager got forced into day shift hours more... then he became one of them. Turned to the dark side of the office. He wasn't the same after that.
I actually quit a job because of this. Manager saying i wasnt doing anything at all when I'm literally keeping the store clean and doing any work no one has gotten done yet in my free time despite not being my job or it hindering my ability to put 100% into my main work in order to keep the well oiled machine going. Nothing like going the extra mile to hear you didnt do anything the next day from the manager that apparently has 20 years of experience...
That's why in my unit we all meet at the same time, clocked in, and with refreshments. If we run days where we have a morning and a night crew, morning crew (and they don't have to do this, but all of us do this) will prep out the equipment for the next crew and even order dinner ahead of time. We had one supervisor like the guy in your skit and the agency took his stripes within three months because of stupid behavior similar to that in the skit.
I used to work second shift as janitor, my manager was NOT happy when my productivity fell she said it felt like she suddenly lost two hours of productivity from me suddenly, see, thing is the garbage compactor broke and had to be joged manually, and well first shift didn't do it, and nothing comes down the chute on 3rd, so it was all up to second shift to do that, and I told her "well I now spend 3 hours on can change rather then 30 mins due to broken equipment!" And I basically told her if she want my productivity to go back up then we gotta fix it, she wrote me up for that. Be careful when you become a load bearing employee
This, I relate to this so hard however it is 1st shift for me. At our warehouse we receive shipments in the morning from 6AM to 2:30 PM. Morning Crew has to receive the shipment, count EVERY SINGLE ITEM so we can confirm the total purchase is the same on the pallet as the invoice, we then also have to move the items onto their shelves and into the system. We also have to make orders, audit shelves, clean the floors, and expire any food products that are close to 1 week in expiration and we are NOT a walk in store. We are a delivery service, not a store so thank god we don't have such a thing as customers. We just send stuff out for deliveries, however 1st shift has to do EVERYTHING before it ends and by the time 2-3 comes around is when the manager brings in the "reward" pizza for 1st shift but we are already out the door so 2nd shift gets it and we get shafted. Then because 1st shift doesn't make as many orders (Because the customers who are ordering from us online/through app) are not abundant, they reduce hours in the morning and send people to mid day or night shift leaving morning crew with less and less people but still a lot of work to do only to complain that now things are not being done in the morning. I made my complaint to my manager and he didn't say a damn thing back, you can't expect a crew of 5 doing the workload of 15 just because you and the regional manager wanted to push out more orders at night so you sent 10 of our crew to those hours. Like fuck you, management is just filled with dumb ass people who I know for a fact have been in leadership positions but never on the floor busting their ass because my own manager knows less about doing things in the warehouse than me, he just knows numbers and still fucks up on that end too.
Worked at Lowe's. Worked many positions, but my last was morning stocking. If a truck didn't come, they'd have us "front face" everything in the store (pretty much make the aisles look nice). I made an agreement when I was hired on that if there was no truck, I would just go back home. Anyway, long story short. They eventually started laying off (I only assume because there was so much time where workers were just sitting there because there's only so much front facing to do). My main reason for thinking this is that I and the other guy that was doing the same thing were not laid off, along with 2 others. Not even a week after, us 4 quit. There werent enough people, and we weren't able to get the trucks unloaded in time when they did come, and they were chewing us out for it. I'm so glad I already had a better job lined up.
I worked in a lumber mill that did this to the guys. Their excuse was "we pay you differential shift pay. That's 30 cents more." not more than what their dayshift employees were getting paid. But 30 cents more than YOUR hourly wage.
I felt my blood pressure rising this entire skit. The ignorance is real. Ive worked second (and third) shift before and yeah, its rough. You have NO management other than the shift lead types who are just factory workers who didnt quit after the first 6 months "in charge" but with no authority to do anything but tell you to get stuff done. If something goes wrong? Thats it, the machines are down, everyone either sweeps floors the next 4 hours or go home, because the repair guys dont come in that late to fix stuff and we certaintly cant stand around with nothing to do, even when there is nothing to do. But pretending to sweep is ok. Second shift has to come in early for these mandatory meetings, third shift gets to stay an hour late for theirs. Its 7 in the morning, suns coming up and we want to go home, shut our blackout curtains, and try to get some rest. But no, we gotta work around the first shift managers schedule. Cant have them actually do something extra and talk to us during our shift. You got a problem with first shift? Too freaking bad. All the managers and other people with authority work then and so you dont have ANY representation among management to back you up and confirm an issue exists.
How I wish this was purely for laughs....my very first job, age 17 at Kohls 2007, something like this happened. I was the overnight shift. We unloaded all the trucks, got product on movable racks for the morning shift to come in and take said racks and put up product on shelves. They were pretty bad about doing it and the manager got upset at us....that we had nowhere to put the product we were unloading.....because morning shift regularly didn't do their job and clear out the carts for us......then made us go to their job + ours. Yeah I quit that job.
Wow this hits home. First shift got a fresh catered luncheon. My shift, cold leftovers that had been sitting on tables all day. Also 1st shift meeting during regular hours ,we come in 30 minutes early.
This is pretty much parallel to my warehouse job years ago,graveyard shift. Monthly meetings on our low ticket completions. Wells it’s because the other 3 shifts have cherry picked the low count tickets during the day! My buddy who worked on 1st shift confirmed it, they don’t pick nothing higher than 2 digits. While we always got sacked with 1,000+ or even 10,000 quantity orders. Glad that company has lost its contract and has high tailed out of my state now 🤣
Spot on, every word! Feeling a little triggered!😂 Lived it. 15yr 3rd shifter. Always empty pizza boxes and donut boxes. And expected to kill time for meeting. 😂😂😂BS!
I remember the stress of making sales in a dominos. When we have no real control over marketing or demand for our product. I get that answering phones quickly and getting the food out to them fast helps. But come stacking dominos stores on top of each other and expecting the store with less coverage to generate the same amount of money or more right away is dumb.
Worked nights 4 years as a soldier in a SCIF making no shift differential, attending mandatory inspections and meetings during day shift, and working 12's 6 days a week. We legit wanted to murder our commander. We were originally supposed to rotate schedule every 90 days but a few females on day shift were dating dudes at HQ and those guys killed the rotation so they wouldn't lose access to their barracks bunnies. True story
lol seen that so many times when I was in. Women in the military was always a mistake. I'll never forget my first day of active duty, fresh out of OSUT. Got off the bus just in time for squadron formation(The base was on Rear Detachment since the unit just shipped for Iraq a couple weeks prior, so everyone that remained all came to the same formation). Lo and behold this formation of over 300 people was like 10 males with injuries, and 290 women who got pregnant to dodge deployment. Pretty much set the tone for the rest of my time in the Army.
It's annoying how they treat the night shift at warehouses. I used to work for a blue one that had mandatory OT only for the night shift. I can not do 12 hour days and commute an hour each way. I literally almost died a few times on my way in due to lack of sleep
HAHAHA THIS IS SO GREAT!!! i worked for a 24/7 flood service and i'd commonly get over 60 hours a week. and once the owner said that we had to cut back on the over-time. All the mean while telling us, not to miss calls for those after hour emergencies. its so real, and its so jank how companies operate. like it really blows my mind how dumb some companies are but stay open.
Worked at the boilerhouse at a mill and had lots of meeting of how we "never added to productivity." But what middle management failed to realize is that product wasnt made if the plant didn't have steam or power.
I work 1st shift at my job 2nd shift gets away with murder because upper management isnt there to monitor them, i stay over a few times and i have to say it was the most laid back work ive ever done in my life😂
I feel that with the pizza and what not, I was working the weekend 12 hour shifts, and we were supposed to get a cake to celebrate the biggest sales and production we ever had thanks to "my shift" that noone wanted to do, we were 8 people that was working and all that was left was 1 piece of cake for 8 people, we called the boss and said what the F, later that night an underboss came in with a few bags of buns and cookies still wasnt enough but I feel you guys.
I straight up had my manager tell me if any of the other departments get on my case about anything. I'm to tell them to screw off and continue to do my job and take verification pictures of everything so if higher ups get on my or my managers case I showed them the pics of the work we're getting done and how we left the place and the higher ups leave us all alone.
I used to work for a company like this and they did let me go. With my prior experience I landed my current job as planing manager for what used to be my prior employer’s biggest customer. used to be because I terminated their contract due to labor violations. that company is no more.
We have all seen this scenario in the wild. Sad but true. Management School: where take a perfectly good and functional human and remove all the humanity, leaving just the crap behind.
I work 2nd shift. We handle 80% of the workload of 1st shift with 1/3 of the employees. I can't count how many times I've come in to see that first shift had catered meals. Nothing for 2nd or 3rd. On the rare occasion that there is left over food, when we get our meal break it's all gone because 1st shift takes home what food was left.
I remember grave shift not getting the pizza, so the director left us a box of frozen breakfast sandwiches instead. Two months out of date. He got so pissed when we told him.
I love how my job is the opposite of these skits. For us graveyard is probably one of the more respected shifts (basically 3rd shift) since they are always the first people to get mandatory overtime. 1rst shift is next in line to get mandatory overtime, and swing is the last ones to get mandatory overtime. Also they get pizza for each shift (basically an entire pizza per person) and every meeting I’ve seen has been on the clock and is under a specific job code so it doesn’t cut into any of your allotted time for other things. Edit: also it’s mainly floor supervisors giving meetings. They have a member of management for swing shift, so becuase of the overlap management can give meetings for any of the shifts.
Good for you man, exact opposite where I work. Literally every single time everything is gone. No one respects or cares about us. We’re not allowed over time unless approved beforehand but it’s almost never. Maybe it’s the position too, since they have little to no experience or understanding of my position. But hey we’re supposed to be appreciated too right ?
@@silentraven6589 damn. For us as long as there’s work to be done we can have as much OT as we want as long as it isn’t past the 12 hour mark (anything past 12 hours is double time and needs to be approved). Edit: the downside is that there is also mandatory overtime, and now that we work 4x10s, we can be called in on a day off, but they’ll usually let us know if it’s expected a month ahead of time. And they let you know the specific day a week in advance and if it happens to not be as busy as they thought it would you can sometimes go home early in your fifth shift or it could be cancelled (no longer mandatory but you can still come in for OT)
@@walkermorales337 Well that doesn’t sound too bad, shit as long as they treat you right I’d do damn most anything for them out of respect. Although I can see how stuff like that can be annoying though. I work third shift, which is somehow even lesser that the other two. The weird thing is, other departments get approved overtime. So I clean right? My manager constantly tells me that this and that is priority, we have the people but little to no structure or direction. I’ve trained 6 new people in the past 3 months. Everything is behind, and I’m trying to get him to understand both our schedules, and our cleaning process and times. We have so much that we’re backed up on that we’ve gotten dinged on our sanitation administration(He’s for the entire area we live in , probably anywhere within 50 miles) and honestly an hour or two of overtime would not only help us but help the store as a whole. I work in a grocery store. Now the night stickers in our store get as much overtime as they want. I know a guy who has close to 60 hours a week. Idk why it bothers me so much but it does. Also doesn’t help that I’ve been trying to get him to hire a leader for our department, but he thinks throwing more people at the problem will make it go away so idk. It’s not like I used to be the leader of it less than a year ago. I stepped down from that position when I realized that the things he I was taking to them about never came of anything and they didn’t even listen to me.
@@silentraven6589 from what I’ve read that sounds about right for a grocery/retail store. I work in a warehouse that operates 24/7 so that could be why. I used to be forced to work 60s (that went on for like 3/4 of a year) but I don’t work anywhere near that now because we’re fully staffed now. Also the company is employee owned and we have an employee association which is basically a union (my state is very anti union so they are called associations) so that could also be why
@@walkermorales337 The company I work for is kinda employee owned? It has an employee stock plan so I’m not sure if it’s one to one. My state is also very anti union. Plus most of the departments in my store (minus cashiers are pretty much working 24/7 except that small window of time we clean, which is mostly 3 hours at most. The only other exception is our market area.) work the entire day. So I could see them maybe giving us ot but I wouldn’t hold my breath on it.
I would love to see what happens when first shift comes in and all of 2nd shift has walked out. You know the chaos energy would be hilarious and the moral of the story is ....
Every video this guy posts is so relatable yet I don’t know why. I feel like it’s the Army. We’re so used to the “good idea fairy” striking. That has to be the closest thing.
As someone that has worked 2nd and 3rd shift jobs for close to ten years, I will never do it again! Yea you might get an extra dollar per hour (ohhhh) but it’s simply not worth it. For me it’s either first shift or nothing.
I work security at a warehouse and see upper management do this to the dock workers all the time. Yet management can't figure out why they have such a high turn over rate for second shift.
Ah yes the age old question, how do we generate sales when we aren’t actually selling anything? And the early meetings were the worst. At least we got clocked in for them but being told to show up for a meeting for the late shift in the morning because it’s convenient for management had me feeling some kind of way.
Yeah I used to work second shift at the airport for car rental. When all the returns would come in. First shift would clean 20 to 30 cars each. We would clean more than that, as well as have to clean and pick everything up, and tag all the remaining cars at the QTA so that first shift would come in the next morning and Not have to do anything except start cleaning. Guess which shift got all the snacks and other benefits, and which shift came in to empty boxes that then had to be cleaned up. To be fair, our managers in this case knew exactly how important the stuff we did was to making sure the place ran smoothly when it opened the next day.
