But We Need Our Sleep on the Midnight Shift

10/6/2012

One plant was getting its first new manager in awhile.  He arrived a couple of weeks before me.  The first week on the job he toured the plant making notes of things to correct.  One thing he noted was to remove the bed in one of my areas.  Yes, a bed.

It seems the operators had enjoyed this bed for years.  It could be easily moved and hidden behind various things in the plant.  Their possession of it was well known.

Once the bed was removed, the female operator who caused me so much trouble immediately went into the plant managers office and demanded he replace their bed.  He refused and she bellowed, "But we need our sleep on midnights! We get tired at night!"

No wonder some plants have so much difficulty getting quality products to market and seemingly cannot contain their costs.
